I have been wire wrapping for a bit
Went to a Gem and Mineral Show last weekend with my hubby and picked up several interesting items.
This is what I have done with them so far:
As you can tell, I still have many more to play with so I had best get back at it!
So long for now, Annita

What's on the beading table today?
Today I am rotating between three projects:
I am still working on the tubular netting project that I started a few days ago
I am mostly working on a commissioned double wrap bracelet for a customer of mine, but I can only work on it in short sessions as these seem to be difficult for me to do for long periods, I tend to get my shoulders to hurting after a while with these since I like to use longer lengths of thread to avoid lots of knots in the bracelet. When I finish with adding all the crystals I will be searching for the perfect silver button to use as a clasp.
The third project on my table is a necklace that I am working on based on my "fruit loop" bracelet pattern. I am graduating the loops so that they will be fuller and longer as you get to the front of the necklace, since this one is for me, I only work on it when not much else is in the works.
Happy Beading! Annita

Learning a new pattern : Tubular netting
Saw a link for this pattern and had to give it a go: Here is the link:
http://www.knottyknits.com/blog/index.php/2010/09/tubular-netting-tutorial/
It was slow to start, but getting faster as I go along, think I will make a necklace, add cones to the ends. Will post pics of completed project soon! Annita
