Reflection' wire weaving pendant video tutorial

Hey everyone! In this wire work tutorial, I will show you how to create a negative space pendant featuring a uranium glass bead focal. We’ll cover how to create the frame using wire techniques, make a woven bail, and design a unique bead cage for undrilled stone or glass spheres. For those that prefer to use drilled stones I’ll provide an option for using beads as well.
