Wire Jewelry Inspiration for August 28, 2013

Wedding Bling

Wire-wrapping ideas for any wedding or special occasion!

Fall is in the air…there is nip of cool at night, the kids have gone back to school, and we are starting to see hints of orange and red in the trees. With the fall comes wedding season.  Now I’m not sure what the ratio of Spring/Summer to Fall/Winter weddings might be, but just based on the number of celebrations I’ve attended recently, it seems both are very busy times of year!

Whimsical wire decor

Beautiful Unions:

I love weddings! I love the excitement, the nerves, the tears of joy, and the decorations. I think that a wedding brings people together, creates traditions and makes memories that are priceless.  Since I love weddings,  I thought I’d like to see what kind of wire wrapping was going on in the wedding world, and share a few of my findings – much like sharing the experience of atending a beautiful wedding with a good friend. Enjoy!

    I have purchased a couple of different disc cutters, the ones you put your sheet metal into and hammer, and no matter what I do, I cannot get the discs to cut properly. They buckle and then I not only do not have a disc, but I cannot get the metal out of the cutter without jumping through some hoops. I have used bur life type products to lubricate the pins before I put them down into the holes. Since this has happened with more than one disc cutter, I am assuming that it is something I am doing incorrectly. And if I have had trouble with this technicque, I expect others have too. Things like this do not often baffle me, but this is my own little gremlin. Thanks, and thanks for each of the tips you have. I try to read each and every one for the morsels of knowledge I get from them.

      This wil help: when placing your metal into the disc cutter, place a piece of scrap metal the exact same gauge into the opposite side of hole you are creating. It also helps if you have a disc cutter with a tightening mechanism.

    How refreshing to see some non standard ideas about weddings instead of all the regular jewelry and accessories. More importantly thank you for introducing all the wonderful artisans and their websites, which I visited everyone and especially enjoyed Krissy Lee and Jennifer Woods creations. Thanks again.
