I noticed after I finished this tut that I made some typo's but I'm sure everyone can look over those. Hope you don't mind that I didn't go back and fix them because I had to do each section using Abobe Photoshop. ACK! PITA!!! So, ommit the double types and typo's please. LOL..Thanks

Oh, and you can click on my website link in my siggy to see more wire work designs by me if you want. Each page has photo's of my wire work and clay work . I think I left my copper sculpure and glass sculptures on one of the pages. I don't have my shopping cart up just yet. I'm still working on my new site.

That sound pretty! I use a lot of Swarovski crystals in my big pieces and I love the sparkle. If you get a chance and you make more or go all the way with this tut, I'd love to see a pic!! Please???

Thanks Sandy..... I'm brain dead too...We are around the same age ( I think I'm a year older though) ..I'm blonde so my Hubby says its a double wammy. ( blonde and old) Aren't they cute..........My Girlfriends daughter is having a girl any day now....the cute little ITS A GIRL hearts were on our candy favors at her shower, so I told everyone that didn't want theirs I'd take it so I can make her the bracelet for after she delivers. I made the lampwork babies too,I hope she likes it. And Thank you again for posting this thread...I was trying to come up with something different.

Awww, She's gonna be thrilled when she see's this bracelet, Chris!. I know I would be.. You should take it up to the hospital and give it to her right after her daughter is born so she can show it off to visitors and the nurses. Oh my, the nurses will flip over it!!! It sure did put a smile on my face!!!

Oh, Oops!! Sorry!
I only use Dead Soft Wire!! ... I hate half hard wire. It's too springy for me.. I tumble the snot out of everything I make with wire so it will harden after the work is done..

I loved it. I used scrap wire and it was only 24 g so it was a little too flimsy but I got the idea. I kind of followed your desiggn and did some of my own. Can't wait for tomorrows class.

Sandy it's a great tutorial. You need to put it in word and run a spell check though. It would look more professional with the spelling cleaned up a bit. I HAVE to use spell check! Thank all the gods for it!!!

Now remember I was just using some scrap wire so it isn't the best but I just wanted to get the idea going. It needs heavier gauge wire so it won't bend as easy.

Sharon, You definately have the right design down with your own twist to it.. You just need to pull those wings in a bit more. Too much wing makes them too flexible and they will get damaged easily.. Bring them in about 1/2 again the distance and you'll have it right on!! Nice job gal!! I like the extras you added too. Especially the dangle at the bottom!!
