Howdy Folks- Here are some pieces I've been working on. I realize the use of stones with drilled holes may be borderline blasphemous on this board, but I hope the wire work makes up for it - at least one border wrap thrown in. I've recently started selling my work and it feels good! Most of the styles evolved from tutotials which I'll give credit to. Ideas on far left and right from Lisa Barth. Second and third from the right Kaska Firor. Second from left Egyptian coil - too old to give credit to...  ideas from Lisa Barth  Tela Formosa style  Kaska Firor  Lisa Barth style  After all the tutuorials my style is starting to come into its own- combining learned techniques and throwing in some personal inspiration. |

those are marvelous! loads of hours in each of them, I just love copper, and baskets have always been a fascination, this combines the weaving and the materials I love best. Can't be beat for appeal on so many levels. Keep doing these!!!!!!! I forsee another collection at my house coming on.

BadA$$ wire wrapping. If they don't fit here they would need a section all their own. I really like to see someone take the ball and run with it and you have done it times ten.
I had to stop eating to comment. Something I rarely do.

First off- Of course, these belong here, they are wrapped wire, right?  Let me tell you, you have done everything right! You gave credit and you are taking tutorials and using them to come up with your own style. That's what it's all about. Your work is absolutely beautiful and perfect. The copper and patina is stunning, as always. You, clearly, have mastered handling wire. Keep it up! |

Very impressive and beautiful work! I also like that you use mostly round wire, making things even more challenging. Can't wait to see more!

I actually think using round wire is a bit easier for me. I learned to twist it to make it straight and harden it up from Tela's E-book. That technique improved my work instantly. although Tela showed how to do it with a pin vice, I started using an electric drill to speed up the process. Makes the bundles tight, straight, and even. |
