fleur-de -li necklace

for my second wire wrapping project

i decided to make this necklace for a birthday gift!

here is how i made it...

draw a sketch, wrap three individual pieces,

like this.

using a third hand to hold the split together,

solder the ends.

so it looks like this.

i found its much easier to 

deal with the pieces individually first.

sorry the pictures are so bad.

they were taken in the basement studio and the 

lighting is wierd.

it will look like this.

careful!  too much heat and the

joints on the individual pieces will come

apart and you have the opportunity to

start all over!

then i used a darkening patina and

just loved how it turned out!

she did too!

Hi De Anna, just popped over from Caterina's blog...the wire wrapped fleur de lis that you made her is beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing how you made it...I dont do much jewellery making, but this has really made me want to try this.

Just gorgeous!
