Fire Dance: Wire Wrapped Pendant Pattern
Category:
JewelryType:
PendantSkill Level:

Pattern Description:
This tutorial teaches you how to trap a cabochon in a woven frame with graceful swirls to dance across the front and back of the pendant. The lesson teaches you a basic version of this style of pendant. However, with a little imagination, you can use the techniques taught here to create many different variations of this design.
This lesson calls for a cabochon, though you can also substitute a similar size bead for the cab instead. Keep in mind that if you do use a bead instead of a cab, you will need to make the frame wide enough to accommodate the thickness of the bead.
Materials:
- 20" (50cm) 20g dead soft round wire
- 14' (4.3m) 28g dead soft round wire
- 1 22x30mm oval cabochon
You Will Also Need:
- Chain nose pliers or flat nose pliers
- Round nose pliers
- Wire cutters
- Bail making pliers or 4-5mm mandrel
- Marker

My name is Donna. I've been making "stuff" for as long as I can remember. I began making and selling beadwork at pow wows when I was a teenager, but had to give it up when my daughter was born. After that I dabbled in computer graphics (mostly gui design) but never really did a whole lot with it.
Then one day, as I sat at my computer, bored to death, I picked up a paper clip and a pair of small pliers. A few minutes later I had made my first pair of wire earrings. At that point I was hooked. I needed more wire. Then I had to have beads. Then I needed more wire.
It's a never ending addiction.
