Wireeork Dragonfly

Here is one of my old idea that never really become a reality until now. The wings are made with 24g silver wire frame and decorated with 28g silver wire.

It is 7cm in length and made with all swarovski crystals.

Its tutorial is ready but damn I don't know how to put it on the web. So contact me if you interested in a copy.

My first Entry in the 2008 Swarovsky competition

This particular design was my first test in wirework 3D structural jewelery. After finishing the framewaork, admitedly I was very very disapointed on how it turned out. I was so ready throwing it into the bin, luckily my wife had a lok at it and said "very nice", I was then so keen to finish it off. It had undergone 1 minor facelift and a change of focal bead from De-art to Baroque pendant.

With the completion of this necklace, I realised that anything (structural that is) is possible with wirework.

I named it : "Meadieval Princess" choker
