This Tutorial will teach you how to create delightful Butterfly Necklace. The whole design is based on wire wrapping method, there is no soldering involved in creation of this necklace.
Try a double coil around the frame. Try mixing metals and colors. For example make a long coil bead from copper and gold. Add to the frame.
I just placed an order for tutorials, how do I read them?

Organic Materials

Have you ever traveled to some heavenly place and then bring with you some "treasures" with which you want to design jewelry? I'm referring to all these stones, shells, sticks, seeds, leafs etc.
Show us your creations and tells us where you were, the place you visited.
Enjoying some time in a place near the sea, I have learned to use organic resources to create my jewelry. Here you don´t find silver wire and less any gem or crystal. Everything comes from nature and I wonder if my designs will be as beautiful as my mind wants ....
