Wire-wrapping pendants
Here's Natalie's Necklace, a fun, kind of whimsical piece that I made for my niece. The red heart glass pendant did not have a drilled hole, so the heart had to be wire-wrapped to became a pendant. I credit Alice Gustin with great instructions for teaching me this method. Every time I wire-wrap, I'm surprised with the outcome, because the wire and/or stone often dictates what happens. I may have a plan in mind in the beginning, but it becomes just a guideline in the end. I saw a similar piece with the clasp on the side, and that was something I decided to try with this piece.
