Have you seen the 2013 edition of Easy Wire?   I certainly look forward to jewelry publications dedicated to wire jewelry, especially one that only comes out once a year.   Interweave’s Easy Wire 2013  is a hefty one – complete with 70 projects.  This is my 5th year contributing to this publication, and I hope some of my pieces will inspire you.   I was definitely excited to see this new crop of jewelry – all focusing on the many ways to use wire in jewelry designs.

Here are my jewelry pieces that are featured in the 2013 issue – I used a full range of wire:  silver, gunmetal and brass + bronze.  I’d like to share with you my favorite component in each design.

 I was crazy about this wide, patterned chain the minute I saw it at Star’s Beads.

 Here’s a favorite purchase I made at artBLISS last fall – a simple and sweet ceramic pendant by Jenny Davies-Reazor.

The bronze cones in this bracelet pull together a couple strands of Lapis Lazuli.

Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world today, and for sharing a few wire jewelry moments with me!
