You guys have really been upping the ante! Lots of new and interesting designs and techniques. In that spirit, Susan susand24224 has come up with a new challenge, should you choose to accept it- and I quote: "Add a coil and a bead. Any bead. Any coil (even if it's just around a wire)." My mind is spinning with with ideas! Maybe I can actually finish one. LOL!
Remember, this is just a little something for fun to help us reach outside our boxes.
First poster chooses the next round.  |

So can you do more than one bead ? Or more than one coil, for that matter ?? Lots of possibilities . Good one Susan Patty |

If I focus hard enough, I might be able to draw a bead on an idea from which I won't recoil!!  |

Sounds like my kind of challenge. I discovered quite by accident that I surprisingly like adding beads after resorting to using one on my first wrap to cover up a mistake. Never done a true coil but I have done the wrap a wire around another wire method for a faux coil. Now just need to choose a cab!

Just for grins and giggles, I'm posting a couple old pieces that fit the bill. I called these Talismans.
Pau shell, spectrolite, gem silica, rainbow hematite, peridot and amethyst
Aura quartz, turquoise, stichtite, pearls and blue topaz.  |

Beads & coils Oh MY ! They both have a lot going on in them Tela,
even seed beads in the top one.
I give you a lot of credit for tying so many things in one.
Tell me about the top bail on the first example - the coil/wire looks different/interesting.

Thanks- EZPZ. Take your bail wires, wrap them, bend them forward and curl the lose ends. |

On the Pau shell one though, the wire looks like it has groves in it, so I was wondering if it was some kind of coil ? But maybe it's just some kind of decorative wire ? Or maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there

Keen eye! Yes, it is a special wire. 20 gauge. I don't think they make them anymore. I think it was called Whimsy wire, but I'm not sure. |

rockjunquie Those are interesting. I’ve actually been thinking about how to combine two cabs in one wrap. I guess it’s just a “make it work” situation.

What is a "heady" wrap?

Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
A heady wrap is a multi stone wrap with a lot of weaving and coils. Much, much more than on mine.
