Herringbone Wire Wrapped Pearl Earrings

Today's project is one of my favorites. I have always loved the Herringbone wire technique and all it's different variations. I can promise this won't be my only project featuring this technique. It always turns out beautifully. The best part about the Herringbone technique is how intricate it looks but how easy it actually is. These earrings feature coin pearls, which is one of my favorite beads. I hope you enjoy this project just as much as I have!

Wreath Shaped Artistic Wire Earrings

Today's project is a fun one - wreath shaped Artistic Wire earrings. These take a little patience at first but once you get the hang of them, the possibilities are endless! I had a lot of fun playing around with this design, trying different beads, different shapes, and adding extra charms and chain. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

Twisted Artistic Wire and Faux Suede Lace Bracelet

Twisted Artistic Wire is one of my favorite wires to work with. It doesn't take much of this wire to really change the entire look of a project. The simple twisted wire ring in this week's project adds texture to an otherwise plain design. This is an easy project but is beautifully executed with the inclusion of beads in different shapes and textures, proving that sometimes less really is more. Not every project has to be an exercise in complexity to show off beautiful beads and wire. When the design is easy, you can whip up several of to fill up a craft booth for spring or share them with friends and family.
