I had fun with the blister pearl. I coiled 34ga wire on a gizmp. Then I bunched it up onto it'self.
Thanks everyone for your comments, I appreciate them.

Thank you all so much. It was fun to make these. I have been doing a little of everything, tumbling, grinding and polishing, sawing, oh and of course wire wrapping. I have been doing about two a day.
Thanks,
Tammy

I love how that wire frames the pearl. I don't know if you were trying for a bumpy look in the wire but it sure does complement the texture of that blister pearl and the coppery shine accents that pearl's luminescents. Absolutely lovely and eye appealing.

That is exactly what I was going for. I used 34g copper wire and I made a chain for it to hang from.
