Whizzy Wirework - very experimental - what do you think?

[Whizzz]

I have been playing with wire today & come up with 2 zig zaggy bracelets - not for sale (as I still have to work out the fastens & the right wire to use) but just wondered what people thought of the design ?

Prototypes Zig Zag 1 & 2

I can't claim it to be a totally original idea, as it was roughly based on a magazine pic!

Love it! Have tried to do that myself but have stuck to very short bits as dangly beads, my co-ordination goes and it would go wonky if I tried to do a whole bracelet! Think the blue one is my favourite.

Yes I like them

How much would you charge for something like that please Whizz?

I honestly don't know yet F&Z. They took ages of fiddling ! I need to work out what type of thin wire is best + how to stop it being scratchy + the best way to fasten.
Practicality-wise, I want to be sure they don't catch on things or come undone!

The blue one is more of a random mix of shades & shapes, the purple one is a bit more uniform.

Oh I love them!!

I also love the Yellow turquoise & rose quartz! Is it for sale? It's exquisite!

I think I would be interested in buying them as presents, once you get a price worked out

keep us posted pls

Another possible customer here too!

I'd also love one of those Natural Looped Lariat thingies if you're still selling them?
I'm rustybear btw masquerading under the guise of a 5th century war leader - I think you have my email - you did me a couple of spectacle chains earlier this year.

OO I'm glad a few of you like them - I was in two minds whether they looked a bit wacky & too "unusual"

Atilla - have emailed you

Fireflyfairy2 - have sent a CAT to you - I have just enough yellow turqouise left but the stones are more browny than greeny - still pretty though

Great! Haven't received it yet, though hopefully I will soon I haven't paid a fee though So can I still receive it?

Thanks Whizzz - have replied.

you should be able to get it - might take a whie for MNHQ to pass it on

Got it & have replied

Thanks Whizzz

Ha- can you post anything without flogging loads?

have you cottoned on yet that you are Rather Good?

Love them Mrs Ratner . They are truly gorg as ever.

Can I ask did DH provide the tree

thanks Peachy !

UCM - nope the tree bits were picked up from the shores of a Scottish Loch at Easter !!

So you don't think the zig zaggy bracelets are a bit too wacky then? ...zig zaggy necklaces......zig zaggy earings.....

ACtually Peachy I'm a bit

The new bracelets are great, Whizzz!

Also I feel quite smug - ive got some of that yellow turquoise - I made a simpler stretch bracelet, and a necklace, although i dismantled the necklace and will be remaking it with a better clasp.

Im also desparate to make some polymer beads after seeing yours - Ive got a roller, just havent made the time to play with it!

How do you make the flat beads - do you shape them by hand or use a mould?

ziggy zaggy bracelets are gorgeous, I would love one of those when you have finished tweeking with them,

Fabulous whizz!

Which did you do first? The blue or the purple?

Love the new bracelets Whizzz - esp the purple one.

Actually the sweetie bracelet is fab. Are they glass beads? ds (nearly 7 months) would love something with big chunky beads to play with when he's sitting on my knee. I already have a breastfeeding necklace for him - I don't suppose you do any breastfeeding jewellery do you?

p.s. - how much is the sweetie bracelet?

VVV I did the blue first (a bit random)& then the purple one (a bit more planned)

GreebosWhiskers - I will CAT you

GreebosWhiskers - have sent you a CAT re sweetie bracelet - I havent made any breastfeeding stuff as I am concerned that I couldn't guarantee that it would be 100% safe for babies.

Fubsy - the polymer clay flat beads are made & shaped by hand - I'm still learning though

Yes, I thought so. The wiring is much neater and its less crowded.

I might need to commission you for something, if thats okay. I'll cat you at some point in the next week.

LOL - yes, that's why I feel I can't sell them just yet - a bit mre practice is needed !! Looking forward to your CAT

oh gawd.. I must stop looking!!!!!

it's a standing joke in our house now.. if anyone catches me looking at beady things.. lol

i also like the blue one & would be interested to know a price?
