My Wire Heart Necklace in Making Jewellery Magazine

I sent a picture of the wire heart necklace I made a while back into Making Jewellery Magazine. I had made it after seeing the tutorial by Sian Hamilton and it was printed in May's issue which came out today.

So if your visiting my blog for the first time after seeing the piece welcome and don't forget to follow the blog to keep up to date with everything I'm doing.

Red Wire Wrapped Heart

Today I made another wire wrapped heart but this time I used red wire over copper and added a few beads. I used large gold coloured seed beads. I'm liking wire wrapping and have a few more ideas now to make a few new pieces. I haven't decided yet weather to make a beaded chain for this pendant or just you a plain copper or silver chain to hang it on. I think the pendant is fussy enough without a beaded chain added to it so I will have to try it out and see what works best.

Copper Wirework Heart

I recently picked up the February 2014 issue of Making Jewellery Magazine and fell in love with Sian Hamilton's Wired Heart tutorial.

Using the copper wire that I've been gathering out of old scrap electrical cables I made the heart.

To make it a little bit more Valentine-y I made a beaded chain using red seed beads and silver plated wire.

I love how its turned out.
