Good job on your spirals, with perfectly round centers and no little straight ends or egg shape!
Beautiful tutorial.
Thank you both!
Secretgarden, I'm happy you like it!
http://www.silverknuten.se/Hi, I love this piece! Do you tell how to add beads like one of your projects with the multi-colored rondelles?
Hi Diana!
I'm glad you like it :) I add the beads during the weaving, in step 11.
After weaving a few times, when the space between the frame wires is large enough to accommodate a bead, I start adding the beads. After wrapping the wire around the 1st frame, I add a bead to the weaving wire and fit the bead snugly between the framing wires before wrapping the wire against the 2nd frame. I then make several wraps around the 2nd frame, so that there is space enough to add more beads on the return wrap to the 1st frame.
I hope this is clear! If not, don't hesitate to ask for more details! I find it helpful to look at the picture of the earring (http://www.jewelrylessons.com/gallery/woven-gem-hoop-earrings) while reading the instruction.
Best, Lotta
