Wire wrapping stone necklace

I took a class last fall on wire wrapping. I was hoping the class was more than was taught to us so I'll seek out YouTube for further studies.
In any event, here is the result.
By using specific silver wire made for wrapping I wrapped around the stone and made a loop at the top to be able to secure it to the chain.

I added a silver jump ring so the pendant can hang properly.
I cut a length of 20" chain, added a lobster claw for the closer.

Wire wrapped Love bracelet

I recently took a word wrap class at Michael's craft store where I learned to word wrap with wire.
Important notes:  draw out your word
Use proper thickness of wire for your intended purpose
Have the proper tools
Work with the wire on the spool (this was hard for me as it got in my way)

First we did the word Mom...the m were tricky and the perfectionist in me got a little frustrated.... Marianne, the instructor ask my daughter and I what other word we would like to wrap so we tried "Love".

I was pleased at the outcome and made it into a bracelet.

Taking 18 gauge wire we started with a loop, using round nose pliers and partway down the tip.
The "L" was easy bringing the wire up and guiding it down and around.
Again drawing it helps...as for the "o", I kept wanting to go in the opposite direction
Continued with the "v", you have to use a minimal amount of wire for the top or start of the "v" and almost picture it in your head
The "e" was easy as well as the last loop.

Since I brought my bag of jewelry making necessities, I cut off a bit of chain, added a lobster claw to make a bracelet.

Also love dangles so added a premade charm.

Wire wrapped bobby pins

I am loving a new craft for me, wire wrapping.

Luckily I already had everything to make these beaded bobby pins.

 I took 6" of wire (I believe it is either 22 or 24 gauge) , looped one end to the flat portion of the pin. Strung on a bead, wrapped the wire through the pin came around again and repeated the process. When I got to the end I wrapped the wire three times and secured it just before the end feed point of the bottom bobby pin.

 

I die cut tags and bagged them up, I even sold 5 yesterday and I only charged $1.00 each.
