Are there wire-wrap projects on-line?
I am getting into gold wire-wrap jewelry, was wondering if there are free
instructions anywhere for making wire-wrap jewelry. If not I will have to buy a book or two from Rio Grande. Also, is there a message forum or newsgroup specifically for wire-wrappers? Thanks. |

Jim: there are several sources/groups. here are some: http://www.wire-sculpture.com/forum/ there are a lot of people on this group, many of whom have watched preston's videos, and so many of the pieces have "his" look, but it's a good place to participate in. He has some basic patterns on the site that are good practice pieces. at msn groups, there is a finewire group, http://www.msnusers.com/FineWire/general.msnw which has some nice instructions. http://www.conniefox.com might provide some assistance. there is also a board and chatroom there. delphi forums has a creative wire group http://forums.delphiforums.com/wirejewelry/start yahoogroups has one or two, and you can always do a google search.

Also, is there a message forum or newsgroup specifically for wire-wrappers? Thanks. Go to Google and type in wire jewelry as your search term. Tons of sites will come up. http://www.wire-sculpture.com has many projects available for download as PDF's, as well as a somewhat active forum. On Yahoo Groups there are several groups that come up on a wire jewelry search. The 2 more active groups are Wire_Wrap_Jewelry and Wire-SculptedJewelry. And rec.crafts.beads has people posting that do wire-wrapped jewelry. It is a very active newsgroup, the majority of postings dealing with lampwork beads. HTH. |
