Perfectly Twisted
I'm fascinated by wire wrapping. Just a little piece of wire, bent here, twisted there, and you've turned a simple stone into a framed masterpiece.
So far I have not delved into the art and craft of wire work. But I'm going to share with you someone who has, and with great success.
Susan of Perfectly Twisted Jewelry has been designing jewelry for three years and selling for two. It was her love of unusual stones that drove Susan to her art. And in Susan's skilled hands there is no doubt that this is art.
Susan is generous with her gift as well, selling tutorials as well as finished designs in her Etsy store. And next month she begins teaching at her local bead store.
Please check out fellow Esmarts member Susan's work at her Etsy store and her blog, you will be amazed and inspired.

Thank you for your comments on the new look of my blog. I couldn't resist adding this background.
ReplyDeleteI love wire wrapping and am always amazed at the work of others and can only aspire to create something as wonderful myself.
Oh lala! I love wire-wrapping too. I did try it but it takes patience and a lot of work! It made me admire wire-wrappers the more! oh, btw, come share that Kahlua with me. I don't mind not wearing the hat. As for the pic, that lady's camera and hand was actually in my camera's way and didn't realize it until I checked my photos. Really weird how it happened.
ReplyDeleteYes, she's very talented! I "stumbled" over her blog earlier and Susan's work is great. And teaching is such a great experience! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThat work is just gorgeous! I love the really complex, big piece. Wouldn't that make a statement!
