Making Filigree, Step Two

After you've got your bazillion strips of filigree wire, its time to start bending them into pretties. Don't forget to save all your snippets of silver wire!

 


I am making a design with random filigree swirlies instead of a pattern, otherwise you should sketch out your pattern and make the specific pretties you will need!

I'm making heart-shaped pendants, so to keep them symmetrical I bend both pieces of wire at once.

Makin' Filigree! I've sold four heart pendants but need more, and even though they'll be a little late for most Valentine's day shoppers, I think they will be a great addition to my shop. I ran out of my favorite venetian box chain though, so I have to make do with crappy craft store sterling silver chain. Pooey!
