Wire: An Addict's Confession

Hello my name is Molly and I am addicted to wire. All types of wire: copper, silver, colored, oxidized, shiny - you name it and I've worked with it and probably have it in my stash.

The new wire colors and tools that have come out in the past few years have made working with wire even more fun and accessible to the masses.  In fact, I made this bracelet with just a few supplies and a fantastic book, Totally Twisted by Kerry Bogert.

Here are the supplies I used:

Metal Trinkettes Bangle Bracelet

11pc Trinkettes Mix- Heart Spacers

8yd-7.3m 20g Copper Wire-Purple

8yd-7.3m 20g Copper Wire-Blue

7ft-2.1m 16g Copper Wire-Silver

Prima Bead has other tools to help you expand your wire-working skills:

Copper Wire Assortment with Technique Book

Wire Jewelry Kit

Wire Jig

6pc Jewelry Tool Pack and Case

And one of my favorite wire coiling tools, the Coiling Gizmo.

I hope you have as much fun playing with wire as I do!  For even more wire supplies, check out Prima Bead's selection!

Bangles...

I've been on a bangle kick for the past week or so:

I can't seem to get enough of these relatively simple, fun, colorful designs.  I have been collecting loads of lampwork beads from various fabulous artists, and I wanted to use them in a few designs, and here's what I came up with - check them out in my etsy store!
