Peruvian "Wire" Art

I decided to detour a bit today. Just need to try this out....the Peruvian String art....a hot topic in the wire jewelry forums that I am a member of for the last weeks. What I learned from this first try is that the coil that I made is too fine. So, if you are thinking of trying this out, make a bigger coil and space them further apart. Otherwise, you will end up using lots....yeah! lots of wire, like me. Overall... I love this string art...give it a try and you will be hook. Peruvian "Wire" Art Peruvian "Wire" Art WireBlissMei

PREVIEW New Tutorial - Ring "O" Studs

Guess I pre-announce the publication of my next tutorial first.
The idea for this design came quite unexpectedly. The plan was I wanted to try out the bird's nest pendant but idea struck midway and I created this Ring O Studs. Funny name ya?
Do you have suggestions for a better name? I am very bad with naming my jewelry.
