Creative Sessions - Wire

-
Last Monday we had a great creative session at Galena Beads working with wire.  If you have any tension or stress you need to get rid of, give this a try!.  We pounded and hammered all night long.  A lot of our ideas came from Belle Armoire Jewelry .  If you only get one magazine a year this is the one you need.  The winter 2010 issuse has the work of Richard Salley who does amazing things with wire and found objects.  One of the wires we used was called Tie Wire.  It is used for tieing rebar when they lay cement.  You can get it at Lowes or Menards.  Only about 5 dollars for a couple hundred feet!! Here are my projects from this creative session
