Wire wrapped beads

I just made these wire wrapped bead earrings for my sister to match the bracelet I made her (in the post below). I made them by creating two coils with the wire and then wrapping this around the bead. You can also do this using marbles, although I think it would be harder to keep them in place. You'd have to work out the exact length of wire needed. Anyway, I'm really pleased with these as a first attempt so will be trying this out again.

Bead threading and a coil hook fastener

Experimenting with the Daisy Chain beadweaving technique. You can make this using thread and a needle.

Earrings made using the Daisy Chain beadweaving technique. I made the daisies using very thing wire and then attached them to silver plated earwires.

This is an attempt at a single St. Petersburg chain, using beads and wire. You're meant to use thread, which I discovered is necessary when the wire snapped part way through! This style of chain is from Russia and is becoming more popular around the world.

A bracelet I made for my sister. I have made and added a coil hook fastener instead of using an already made t-bar fastener like the ones in the first bracelets I made. I think it looks more interesting.
