Lately I've been trying to use up beads, all different sizes, colors, shapes, eras, prices. I found a great source at the dollar store, florist section. 12 g wire, soft and pliable, great for making shapes. It comes in gold, purple, red and apple green. This is my 5th one, all different ... this is one of the more simple designs, at 8" long. Not sure what to do with them, other than gifts. Any ideas? As an aside, this same exact wire is sold on Amazon for $4.95. Check out your local dollar store for some real deals.
My process:
sketch a simple design (then do your own thing)
Shaped the wire
chose a combo of complimentary beads
started wire wrapping with large seed beads and silver tone wire
used purple wire for 2nd wrap
painted Vintaj moon lady, punched hole at bottom and hung a bead
Swarovski crystals, seeds, fluorite teardrop, and lots of other beads
added some metal swirls at the top and wrapped some beads in there too
