Wire Daisy

Memory wire: something that I will never use again. Not for anything that requires the wire to be shaped anyway, because it does look like it has good bangle potential. 

But anyway, this is a pendant that I made for my mother before. The center was a bit messier than I would have liked because memory wire does not like to bend or keep its shape, so I strung some faux pearls on beading wire and hot glued it on :)

These might be my favorite pair of wire earrings so far. I know, I keep saying that, and it's because I love all most of the earrings that I make, but the color of these glass beads just make me feel like I'm at the beach, one of my favorite places to be. 

I actually got this craft wire pegboard type thing (it looks like this, with movable pegs) on sale for $4, which I used for most of the wire form, except for the small curls on the ends. It certainly made it easier to make two almost identical shapes, one of my weaknesses, but it does take some getting used to.

I've been getting really into wire working lately, but I'm afraid I'm still not very good at it. Especially at making my two earrings even. I know in my mind that I should start out by cutting two equal sized pieces of wire before twisting them, but somehow it never happens once I get down to the making. 

Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with the results. I used 20 gauge brass wire with glass beads, 3 pairs of pliers, and lots of patience. I'm going to keep at it though, and hopefully practice with wire will make perfect :)
