'Blue' wire wrapping pendant video tutorial
Hey everyone! In this wire work tutorial, I want to show you how to create a flowing line wire work pendant. We’ll focus on framing a stone using square wire, which is perfect for various shapes like oval or pear. I’ll demonstrate how to craft beautiful swirls and incorporate a gemstone accent—if you’re not yet comfortable with undrilled stones, feel free to use a drilled bead instead Let’s dive in!
