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.

Thinking about Valentine's Day yet?

Ok - I admit it, I'm not much for celebrating Valentine's day. I have a history of negativity associated with February 14th.. My first boyfriend dumped me on a Valentine's day, I've had the flu more than once on V-day, I've been forgotten a few of times on the 14th..

That having been said, I consider Valentine's Day a great excuse to make something delicate and girly, and full of hearts. I made a matching ring too, but I'm keeping it ;)
