Wirework
Yesterday I was very busy with some orders where I was using this technique.
I was making a tiara with Swarovski crystals and silver plated wire. I was using a combination of twisting wire and making spirals. The wire is twisted to hold the crystal in place and by a process of adding 'branches' this can create a filigree effect.
Spirals are made by winding the wire around the round nosed pliers. I have also completed a cuff bracelet by using this technique. This image will be uploaded to my website.
I also made a bridal comb using 'silver seed beads' and twisting wire with pearls and crystals. This will be uploaded also.
