Spiral Elegance: Crafting Wire Wrapped Double Spiral Tornado Links for a Lush Cha-Cha Bracelet

[@jaimemorvik9353]

I really appreciate this part at the end of how to incorporate your link into a piece of work. Thank you. Please continue to do this.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Jaime, so nice to hear from you! I have done a few tutorials where I have shown my ideas on incorporating the link demonstrated in the video, into a design, ie a couple of bracelets and some chain for necklaces, you can find them in my playlist under "chain links" or "connector links" I hope this helps ( and I will do more of these) Have an awesome weekend! xx

This bracelet is very pretty...i love my dangles eh...thank you muchly...hugssss💚💚💚

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

You are so welcome Kim, yep gotta have a dangle or two! lol hugsss

I love the spiral links...and I do like the wire-wrapped loops. For me, I would always choose the wire-wrapped loops, when I can. There is nothing simple about simple loops for me. I love the Picasso finish !! I love these colors. Beautiful piece !

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hey Jenifer, I'm the same, I'll choose a wrapped loop over simple loops any day! I don't use a lot of czech beads in my designs any more as they can't go in the tumbler! But I do love me a picasso finish! I really enjoyed your live stream the other day! good job! xx

Thank you! You too Avonda! xx

Knocked it out of the park! AGAIN! You’re so talented, Linda, and I really adore this bracelet. Those little links look so difficult to create but you make them so accessible. Beautiful work as always, my friend. Hope you’re doing well xx

Hey there Samantha 😊

[@samanthalatimer1]

@@maryellington2268 hello 👋 Hope you’re well ☺️

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thank you so much Sam, I was wearing this bracelet around the house yesterday and it felt so nice on, I was worried it might be a bit heavy and cumbersome, but not at all! I find most techniques in wire wrapping easy to do once you see and hear it explained clearly! NOT always so easy when you are the one working out how to make the design you have pictured in your head! LOL I am doing well hun as I hope you are? xx

[@BettySells-x7j]

So pretty love it thanks for sharing 💕 I'll be making one have a good week 👍🥰

Thank you! have an awesome day!

[@ginnybullock9627]

wow at first i thought this one was going to be hard but looks really easy...will have to give it a try...such a beautiful bracelet ☺💜🌻🐝

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hey Ginny, I try my best to give instructions that make a complicated looking piece not so intimidating and cross my fingers that I have succeded lol. How's you wire wrapping going? are you making anything?

[@cathymike7559]

Cool barrel links & just love the color of the beads you chose for this fall looking bracelet a beauty Linda!🌼

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thank you Cindy! have an awesome day!

[@crystalforseeodeneal1666]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Thank you Crystal! 😊

@@GumnutLaneJewellery love all your work though

[@carolynjohnson9789]

The double one would look nice with a bead in the middle.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Absolutely would Carolyn, I just showed you the technique, now it's yours to play with and do as you please! Have fun with it!!!😄

[@laurettabratti6638]

Linda I like links but I LOVE your links! These links made such a lovely Fall bracelet with all those pretty colored beads. I so admire so last week's bracelet! Isn't it amazing how projects turn out once you apply patina and run them through the tumbler? 😄 I'm going to try this one tonight. I imagine they will make beautiful earrings too. If I like my results, I'll post on the Facebook page. I also like wire wrapped loops versus a plain loop, much more secure, right? 😀 Have a lovely week ahead and thank you for sharing you do! 😉✌️🌹

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thanks so much Lauretta, I know, it's amazing how different a piece turns out after oxidising! Yes they would make beautiful earrings as well! Hope to see a pic of your work on FB soon! Have a happy day!xx

[@laurettabratti6638]

@@GumnutLaneJewellery thank you Linda, hope to share something this weekend if time permits! 🤭

[@maryellington2268]

Hey there Linda It's so good to be here again.i said to myself that I could never do this my mind was not focused on it when I quieten my mind down, and focused, now I can make it what about that nice ring you have on your finger?😊

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

I also need to quieten my mind sometimes, so I can concentrate on the task at hand! I know you can make this link and the bracelet!!!!! I will be posting a tutorial for the ring on Patreon this week! You now have access to choose to be a monthly member or purchase access to a single tutorial! I hope this helps! Have a great week! xx

[@pep8ful]

i am on a dangle thing and love the idea of the cage connectors... was thinking of adding small beads on the wire inside the cage...thanks

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

That's a great idea! let me know how it turns out ok?

[@BlooStorm1]

Beautiful choice of beads and components. Fall colors! The trees are starting to turn here in New England U.S. Also, LOVE that ring you’re wearing! Do you have a tutorial for it? I’d wear it every day!

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thank you! I love Autumn colours even though we don't get a big show of them here in Australia, most of our trees are evergreens! I am posting a tutorial this week on Patreon for the ring, you can now have access to the tutorials for a set price per tutorial without having to pay a monthly membership if that's what you prefer! I hope this helps! xx

[@shawmariehouser7430]

Wish we were heading into spring, love autumn but hate the winter here in New york..which is very close around the corner..where are you from? Love all of your designs..simply beautiful all of them.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Shawmarie, spring and autumn are my favourite seasons, I hate the cold and as I'm getting older I can't tolerate the heat like I used too! I am from Sydney Australia! G'day mate! hahaha

[@Willandpetesmom]

Love your spiral bead . Gorgeous and very easy. You always have such wonderful surprises each week. I do have a question though. What to you tumble your items with, the silicone pieces, or the very fine grit. What do you use?

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Jill, thank you for your lovely compliment! I use stainless steel shot, a mix of shapes, I also tumble with shine brite liquid added to the shot! I hope this helps! xx

[@Willandpetesmom]

Thanks for your response. I’ve just gotten my tumbler and am a little lost. I’ll figure it out, but thanks for your input.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

@@Willandpetesmom Jill, just remember I am here to help if you need it! The tumbler is very easy to use, just add the shot (I recommend stainless steel) to the tumbler, add your jewellery and cover with water by 1", add your additive i.e dish liquid (1-2 drops, unscented & no additives) or a burnishing compound, I use and recommend Shine Brite liquid (follow manufactures instructions) and I tumble for about an hour! 😁Everything comes out hardened, bur free and very shiny! 🥰🤩

[@lullabylullaby6226]

Beautiful 😍, if you don’t mind me asking, where do you buy your Czech beads from please?

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Thank you! I'm in Australia, so I buy most of my beads here! I have two favourite sellers on Etsy and I get my Czech glass from them! Let me know if you would like their contact details ok?

[@elisarivetti6375]

You speak of doing something to wire to make it more malleable. Forgive but I can’t make out what you are saying. Sounds like pre aneal? The transcription also has preal. I cannot find a definition of either. Please tell me the term you are using. Thanks so much. Your work is beautiful

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Elisa, yes it's called pre annealing. you use a torch to heat the wire which softens it and makes it way more easy to manipulate especially thicker gauge wires! Hope this helps and have a wonderful day!
