What was your inspiration?

The beautiful wire wrapped pieces others have shared with me. I have been in awe of their beauty and these amazing creations. I wanted to be able to create these types of pieces too... and I can!

What are you most proud of?

This is my FIRST wire wrapped piece. I was able to complete it in a few hours over 2 days. I am thrilled with how well it turned out. Sure I used a pattern, but I felt that was the best way to do my first piece. Awesome tutorial (Thanks Nancy!!!!)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Find a free tutorial for a project YOU like. Focus on something simple, a goal that is attainable. If the project is a piece you would buy yourself, not only will you be anxious to finish, but you will make sure that you take enough time to make sure it looks good... even for a first piece! Good luck to you!

I used the same free pattern for my butterfly cuff. All I did was to increase the length of the wires that you spiral up by the stone and then I let the wire tell me where they wanted to go. My butterfly cuff is posted here if you want to take a look.

I checked your page, I saw some great pieces, but none titled butterfly. Am I missing something?

It is named Desert Butterfly. It was the first one I posted here. It is still in my account but maybe you can't access anymore?
