I love wire work in all forms. Wirework beads are awesome and fun to use within an off loom bead woven piece, but there is more you can do with wirework than just jewelry.
Here hangs a wire heart hanging from a silk ribbon bow. A small candle is nested inside the heart.
Note Bachelor Frog, a print from Carolyn Peterson's original painting of the frog. This can be found at Arts Prescott. The wire work heart is something you can create for yourself.
A ceramic cone shaped vase created by a Yuma Potter by the name of Neely Tompkins was adorned with wire and beads by Linda Lane, a Yuma bead artist. I have a set of Neely's wonderful functional pottery which I love very much thanks to sister Patricia Brockert. The Cone Pocket has two loops on the side where Linda begins with her wire work magic. I use the pocket for flowers or like this little birds nest I dropped in for the photo.www.claystuff.com
Linda Lane opened The Dragonfly Bead Shop years ago and I was lucky enough to do a lampwork demonstation in the courtyard at her shop. I am sad to say that she retired and sold the bead shop.
In the coming weeks I will show some simple wire work art. Maybe this is something of interest.
Wirework is a creative way to adorn your fiber art as well as your bead art.
