Working with Wire




I've started working a lot with wire lately and I've made a very nice necklace with wire and chains. Using a round pliars, I made each bead into little charms with hoops at each end. Then I attatched it to chains. It took a while because I made to make each charm by hand, but I'm very happy with the results. I used only three kinds of beads, little 5mm red ones I've been working with for a long time, orange carved beads that I used in my Robin's Egg Wood necklace, and some larger red ones that I found at Michael's.

Materials:
23 5mm red beads
8 7mm red beads
2 orange carved beads
silver wire
1 silver toggle clasp
silver chain
