New Wirework Jewelry Tutorial ~ Twisted Wire Flower Link

7th March 2014 (Friday) @ 11.55pm

Code:   ESP 6/2014

Price:  USD 2

Inspired by a flower pendant I bought years ago, led me to create this tutorial which I've released and is now listed in my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/emilysecretpassions as instant download in PDF file.  

This tutorial is suitable for a beginner who already have basic wirework skills or for those who just want to have fun making it.  It teaches how to make this free-form flower link from a long wire that is twisted together, and then hammered, to form the flower.  The main photo above shows how it is used in a beaded necklace and a pair of dangle earrings but this tutorial also has a step by step instructions on how to make a pair of twisted flower ear studs to match the necklace.  

You can create other designs from just this flower link ~ namely necklace, bracelet, earrings, lariat, choker, pendant and even a book mark.  

I'll bet you just can't stop at making one! 

A Flower Pendant Inspired Me

2nd March 2014 (Sunday) @ 3.00pm

A flower pendant that I bought from Vincci many, many years ago inspired me to make a flower made from twisted wire.   I have never used any other kinds of wire except colour coated copper artistic wire, so when I thought about making this flower, I thought about twisting the wire to get the twisted design and then hammering it to get a flat surface.  The funny thing is that I have never worn the necklace which I have kept in my dressing table drawer for many years ....... meaning even before I started my wirework journey.

Inspired by this ....... 

Twisted wire flower links 

To this ..... a pair of beaded dangle earrings

And this ..... a beaded necklace with the twisted wire flower links as part of the design.

One can create many types of jewelry from this multi-purpose twisted wire flower link ~ namely necklace, bracelet, earrings, lariat, choker, pendant, brooch and even a bookmark.

I am in the midst of  the editing the photos and writing the step-by-step instructions in the tutorial for this twisted wire flower link and a pair of twisted wire flower ear studs, which I will be listing in my Etsy shop , www.etsy.com/shop/emilysecretpassions soon.

Ok, now back to finalising the tutorial right after this.  

Have a wonderful weekend and productive week ahead every one !  :D
