'Mandala flower' wire wrap pendant tutorial video

In this tutorial I want to show you how create a hammered mandala flower with a gallery wire set gemstone as a focal. I will show you how to create the base frame, hammer it out, and bring it all together. We will then prong-set a gemstone focal before adding in our accent beads. Lots of fun techniques in this one! Have fun!
