Shades of pink for Valentine's Day

   I do enjoy making different types of jewelry. If I’m low on energy or motivation, though, I go to my favorite piece to make…the wire-wrapped cuff bracelet.

Brown bracelets and a wreath that is giving me fits

   As I was pulling together the photos for today’s blog post I realized I must’ve been in a brown mood…whatever that might mean. 

Orange: The second color in ROY G. BIV

   Today I am continuing with the rainbow theme “ROY G. BIV.” Yesterday I featured a red wire-wrapped cuff bracelet. Today’s color is orange. 

Motivation from friend requests

   I really like it when folks express interest in the jewelry pieces I create. A couple of recent requests got me motivated to make several bracelets.

More cuffs to show your team spirit

   Because I am an equal opportunity crafter I created wire-wrapped cuff bracelets in colors for college football fans other than those of Clemson or WVU. 

Wire cuffs are piling up

   By now you probably know that my favorite piece of jewelry to make is the wire-wrapped cuff bracelet.

Pendant + Wire Jig + Wire = Too Many Options

   A little while back I experimented with a wire jig. I used one such experiment to wrap a pendant.

A necklace made from buttons and odds and ends; and a bracelet thrown in for good measure

   The buttons I got from Jules have been calling my name. So I set out to make something with them.

Swarovski and paper bead bracelets

   As much as I like experimenting with different jewelry pieces, sometimes I like going back to the piece I enjoy making the most – the wire-wrapped cuff bracelet.

Another necklace, more earrings and renewed inspiration

   In the blog post “Grab a bead and wrap it in wire” I shared photos of wire-wrapped pendants I made. Well, since I have a handful of those pendants I decided to make a necklace.

It's a wired world!

   I know I should try to hone my skills in necklace making, but I decided to go back to wire bracelets.

The week that was...

   It took me a little while to get back in the creative groove after the Independence Day holiday. But this last week I did manage to get a few things accomplished in my Creative Cave.
