The first three pendants are from tutorials by Jenny Pong. On the first one there is a tiny tiny Swarovski butterfly - 5mm (I didn’t realise when I ordered it how small it was!). I haven’t finished the necklace for the third pendant yet, it goes on the end of a lariat.
The next is from [...]

The bee and dragonfly pendants are from tutorials by JewlieBeads.

First is a framed donut pendant using a tutorial by Eni Oken. I used a square jasper donut, with jasper and smoky quartz in the fringe.
Next is the starburst pendant tutorial by Linda Rosa.
Last is a cool tutorial by Kricsa. I really like this design! Don’t know which side I like better, both are nice.

This is a tutorial from JewelryLessons.com by Emi Kaz, who does amazingly intricate wire jewelry. I used a 12 mm Swarovski rivoli for the stone. It was very fiddly to wrap but I love the result!

I’ve been doing mainly wirework lately but I [...]

I first tried a Tree of Life pendant using instructions from Bead Studio. Then I found this video tutorial on YouTube by Camille Sharon, which I think is a really pretty design. Wierdly enough, the night before I found this tutorial, I had a dream about a giant tree with an aura. So I took [...]

The necklace is a pattern from the book Bead on a Wire by Sharilyn Miller. Check out her blog for heaps of [...]

My new love is wire wrapping! I made these first two - a bracelet and a ring - from tutorials I found on this blog (in Hungarian). I only did the ring in practice wire, since it’s my first try.
Next is a tree of life pendant from Linda Jones book, using garnet chips.
These next two [...]

I’ve been practicing with my wirework, these are a few bracelets I’ve made. It can be very hard to get every component just the same.
All of these patterns are from books by Linda Jones. However, there is a video tutorial for the heart links like the second photo at this site.
