'Amun' wire work pendant video tutorial
In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a wire woven pendant, using simple wrapping techniques to set an undrilled focal cabochon using woven wire components. We’ll use the same base wires throughout the project. I’ll show you how to securely hold your focal stone in place, create a simple bail, and incorporate accent beads to enhance your design. Finally, I’ll show you how to finish off your wire work for a polished look. Hope you have fun with it!
