Saturday, May 27th, 2023, 10am MST - Frames and Strips - we'll be weaving up strips making ready for our Sunday masterpiece pendant! I will show you how to create each of these weaves, some coil ideas, and introduce you to using larger half-round wire. We will also frame for a pendant or a few, depending on how enthusiastic you are 🙂 This is an easy day of weaving and framing concepts and getting our wires ready for assembly.
Sunday, May 28th, 2023, 10am MST - Assemble and Embellish! Creating a Masterpiece Pendant.
In Sunday class, I will show you ways to layer and capture your stone. I will also talk about how to patina and polish out this very intricately woven and beautiful pendant. I will also show you how to hammer decorative bare wire on the frame.

never thought I could sit through 2 + hours of tutorial, but I loved every second - you made me feel like I was sitting right along side you with this beautiful creation ! TY

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much for this kind comment, Barbara, it means a lot to me! 🙏❤️

[@xlr8tedzoom]

There are so many things I like about this strip tutorial. You can do strips at your leisure for use later. No super long wires to get bent or crossed. The length of the video. Most make it simple showing a few wraps then cut to show the finished product. Weaving takes time to make something stunning and you did just that!

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

The length of the video... indeed, too long, but I think for beginners, its a good video ;) Thank you for this thoughtful comment, I'm really happy you enjoy the strip weaving technique, it's great for many pieces of jewelry...earrings, bracelets, etc. Have fun!

[@xlr8tedzoom]

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry The length of the video shows reality. When I started weaving I wondered why it was taking me so long to weave and set my stones when it took others a short time. I realized the cuts so give me full length anytime. Thank you for all you do!

[@brendadavis4254]

I just have to tell you that you have the most pleasing voice while you are doing a tutorial on the jewerly. Your voice is beautiful to go with the beautiful things you make. Thank you so much.

So glad! Thanks for watching!

[@shelliemoon2245]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! You are one of my favorite artisans !! I started wire wrapping a year ago this past December found out I have a knack for it but I never thought I could make something so beautiful! I watch all of your videos and you have helped me so much. I wanted to let you know I appreciate you and I know without your tutorials I wouldn’t have learned so fast thank you 🙏

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

What a lovely and kind comment to read, Shellie, thank you!! I'm so happy you're enjoying my tutorials, I appreciate you!💞🙏

[@nikkifrance100]

Fantastic design and amazing tuition. Thank you so much for your time and generosity. Fabulous labradorite cab also !

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Thank you, Nicola!

[@carolhiler4690]

When shaping a frame I place it over graph paper and check it several times as I'm shaping it and that way I get a perfectly symmetrical frame. Thanks for the tutorial, very nice.

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

That's a fabulous idea, Carol, I use my Cricut board and mention it in several videos, as well as regular 4 square graph paper, it works out great! Thanks for sharing!

[@Connie-t4e]

Im watching the beginning and I’m so excited ❤❤❤❤

How does it feel to be the best wire weaving teacher in the world? You are amazing!❤️❤️❤️

[@nadiasamy1400]

I am stunned with your beautiful weaving and the peace of art that you created thank you I love it

[@lindamalcovsky]

Thank you so much for this tutorial 💗 I've been struggling with frame style pendants and how to add weaves and decorations to them..this tutorial has answered all my questions and given me tools to create beautiful frame style pendants. I love love love your teaching style..so easy to follow ..❤❤❤❤

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Yeah!! What a lovely comment, Linda, thank you!! I'm super happy you're getting new insights into this beautiful artform, we need more wire artists! Much love!

[@justplaindawnmurry2145]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I can't say enough about the frame design! So versatile! Working on my weaves now and trying to decide whether to redo the frame . . . I used 18 gauge square for my frame, but I think 16 gauge round may be stronger for the weave attachments. Not making 360's with the 16 gauge for the frame and attaching the legs with half round is just something I never thought of -- and is a game changer for me. Your pendant is so beautiful!

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Thanks so much, Dawn! I'm super happy to hear you're getting some new insights, sometimes we just need a fresh way to look things. Much love! Your comment makes me happy!

[@brendabrenda6738]

[@rainrobin4505]

Love your jewelry and videos. May l ask where you buy your stones? They're gorgeous.

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Thanks so much! I frequent the mineral and fossil show that comes through town... www.coloradomineralandfossilshows.com/ Some of these high quality Dealers also sell online... Love their cabochons! instagram.com/rareearthminingco/ Love their Opals instagram.com/orcagems/ Love their Aquamarines instagram.com/lost_creek_mining/ I also shop at the locally owned rock shops lithosarvada.com/ You could probably check out your local rock shops, perhaps even look up the local rock clubs, there are many lapidary folks who frequent those... also you can shop online, Etsy has them but as always, stay with sellers who are established and have many reviews. The treasure hunt is most of the fun! :D Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@lisasbeadbox1]

Are you using copper and what gauge for your wrap core wires. when and what do you use brass for? 2 questions for you.

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Thanks for great questions, Lisa! This entire pendant is copper, yes. The Base frame wires are 18g square but they could be sub with round, I weave with 28g wire. You can do strip weaves in 20g base and 28g weaving wire. The options to mix and match the wires allows you to enjoy what wire you have onhand. I hope this helps!

[@lisasbeadbox1]

thanks so much for your replies very helpful. I just love your work very professional.@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry

[@johannamdunn]

i'm wondering what brand of wire you use all the ones ive tried are terrible seem to tarnish

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Hi, J Dunn, I use Copper wire from Riogrande.com... copper will tarnish over time unless you treat it at the finish with some type of sealant, or you start with Anti-Tarnish wire. Natural copper and sterling will tarnish over time due to a person's skin, and how they wear the jewelry, how they treat it. The best you can do is either seal your bare wire jewelry or start with Anti-Tarnish wire. I hope that helps!

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

PS... chances are, the wire you have is probably fine, just oxidized. You might try to just wash the spool with soap water and a brush... make sure it dry it completely, but this might help it look a bit better.

Подписка однозначно.❤

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

Thank you!🙏🌷

[@savagetwin52]

I cannot wait to try this. It may take me sometime cuz I am MUCH older than your hammer. I learn a great deal from you. Your videos are so professionally done. The perfect lighting, focus and close up! TU so much!❤❤❤. Had to edit to include this: a generous person feeds a hungry person for one day. But a great teacher teaches people HOW to fish so they can eat forever. I'm paraphrasing an old Indian saying, (or was it in the Bible🤔🤷🏾‍♀️) yet, you are the GREAT TEACHER.

[@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry]

You are so sweet, thanks for beautiful comment! I think it's an old Chinese proverb. I appreciate hearing this! 🙏💞💞 I work very hard on my tutorials. I'm grateful they help you.

[@skargle]

I subscribe to a lot of wire wrapping channels, and you are the best teacher of the art that I’ve found. Thank you for your videos. You are so awesome!

[@consueloyoung4484]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!. Lots of love went into this piece and it shows. I am a watercolor artist and to me this pendant looks like an ocean scape. The reeds and fish bubbles are just enough for the amazing blue of the stone to be the main star ⭐️ ♥️

Thank you so much! Your words paint as beautiful a picture as I'm sure your watercolors do. I appreciate you! Hugs to you!

Have you written a book. If so I’d like to buy it. Please let me know the title. This is so gorgeous. I wouldn’t put another gemstone in there unless it’s a diamond. Lol. I wouldn’t want to detract from the main stone.
