“Bloom” Wire Wrapped Floral Scene Pendant

10/07/2014

Bloom Wire Wrapped Floral Scene Pendant at www.happyhourprojects.com

I had a lot of fun making today's pendant.  My wire wrapping is of course not flawless, but it was fun to combine elements to create an actual theme that's meaningful to me.  I used center-drilled beads, wire, and a stamped blank to create a floral scene.  It's actually a lot more spring-themed than ...

Simple Pearls: Wire Wrapped Frame Pendant at www.happyhourprojects.com

I've got a very simple design to share with you today that's a good one to try if you're a beginner when it comes to wire wrapping.  I'm on a new kick of wrapping within wire frames - it's been a lot of fun to think of a wire frame as space to fill.  I went for a very minimalist look with this ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
