Shaped Loops Pattern
Category:
JewelryType:
NecklaceSkill Level:
Novice
Pattern Description:
Learn to include geometric shapes in wire wrapping.
This pattern will focus on using tools to make wire loops in different shapes. The first step will be to create simple wrapped loops to create connector links. The directions cover how to form them all loops the same size and have the same number of wraps. Next, the directions cover how to create various geometric shapes using common jewelry tools and other household items. The links of the necklace are arranged in groups of threes (circle, square, triangle) with a spacer link in between. This is only a suggestion. Feel free to create your own arrangement such as a grouping like shapes (3 squares, 3, circles, 3 triangles) separated with a spacer link or maybe use a spacer link between each geometric link. Any other ideas? I would love to hear them.

This has really been a great year for me. I got to travel to Bead Fest in New Mexico and Philidelphia. I taught the class wrist rainbow. The pattern is now in my pattern store here at craftsy. Later this month I will be going to Texas to the Bead Fest there to teach a class called "Wire Knots". If you will be in the area there is still plenty of space.

Later this month I will be going to Texas to the Bead Fest there to teach a class called "Wire Knots". If you will be in the area there is still plenty of space.
In the past I have taught at local bead and craft stores. I love to give private lessons. I have been teaching for over 5 years now and beading for close to 10. My passion is really wire, although I do love to mix different media like bead weaving and wire.
I hope my patterns inspire you and challenge you. Happy Beading.
