Spike Seahorses

Three Spike Seahorses

The last time I made this spike seahorse was more than 10 years ago - see Mr. Spiky from 2009. How time flies.
Revisited Carmen Barrera's tutorial and here are the results.
I used 20 gauge wire for the spikes instead of 21 gauge as recommended in the tut.
As a result, blistered finger from the wire bending.
But, it was fun making them though.

Wire Wrapped Bird Cage Turquoise Rings (Triplets) and Mr. Spiky Pendant

Not as productive as I wanted to be the last few days. Some delayed projects and inability to meet deadlines. No hard feelings but I got time extension :)

Here is my Triplets! Identical bird cage ring. These are tiny rings...size 7 done with 22ga wire.
This is an easy and fun project to make. Approximately 5 min each ring. These were done in between a very difficult project.

Meet Mr. Spiky. This piece is based on Carmen's tutorial - Spike Seahorse. Great technique and I can see many possibilities from this technique. Just haven't got the time to explore more. Next year maybe..:)
Talking about which, Have you list down your New Year resolutions?
Me, not yet - still thinking.
