Expanding on wire jewelry

I've been teaching myself silversmithing to combine with the wire wrapping I've been doing. I've made 4 pieces so far with a 5th on the way soon. I wanted to share what I've been up to








I have my other work up on my site: nattywraps wire wrap crystal jewelry

Peace,
Isaac

 

here is the other one...

 

that's awesome...i'm looking into making a bag for my friend since she is taking me to see rent and i'm very broke.

 

HOLYSHIT BATMAN!!
OK, now I seriously neeeeed one! fuckfuckfuckfuck! I love the contrast of the wrap and the smith work. Seems like the stones really pop now too! This is deff going on my list....hmmm....new bf....maybe he will get me a pretty for a late christmas gifty...I been good....coughenoughcough

 

absolutely beautiful! (and some nice knitting in the background too)

 

you are amazing, isaac...and i agree with kim...going on my list! bday in july! or hmmm, valentine's day...*plots*

 

beautiful pieces. i got some jewelry pliers and things ofr christmas and my daaaaddy is a silversmith by trade so i'm thinking of taking up a bit of wire wrapping to help me get through uni

 

those are so amazing! What's the stone in the first one? It looks kinda like aragonite...


serriosuly amazing though, I agree with gdhmomchild, now I really need one too!

 

i'm durrently doing some wire rings, with different colord glass e-beads all around, wire just used as carrier. thought i'd do a one-strand-er, expander. any thought on how one might get this idea to work without gett p.o'd and junking the whole thing?

 

Thanks everyone for your kind encourragement I've got more coming along soon that are even crazier. I'll be sure to share

It is actually a spessartite garnet cluster from Pakistan. Really nice material and hard to come by.

Not quite sure what you mean?

Peace,
Isaac

 

Hey Natty,
Ever used seaglass in your wraps ? I have quite a bit of it if you're interested
in buying some for your projects. Your work is awesome. Very talented.
How long have you been wire wrapping ?

 

I will def contact you if someone ever orders a piece with some sea glass.

I've been making jewelry for just over a year now

Here's a piece I finished last night:

 

hahaha my thoughts exactly! i want a good wrap but i'm broke as hell ;(

 

nattywraps- do you ever do custom orders or smaller wraps, like around one inch?

 

I do both

 

Really wish I was that talented

 

Hey Isaac...


Being a wire wrap artist myself... I can definately say I am inviouse of your skills and a bad speller. I hope you realize that your knowledge is worth a lot of money. I make some good money selling what I know but you would totally be making fat bank. I have found 98% of the people that buy my wire wrapping knowledge have no follow through. It's kinda sad because I make is easy for them and there is great money in it. Your probably more well known than you think. I love your new work. It always blows me away. I'm coming out with my own DVD soon. You should seriously consider making one. Man... I hope you take your knowledge to the bank. I know people that would throw down some serious money to know what you know. Just something to think about.

Yeah I have had a few offers for articles. Lapidary Journal's step by step wire offered to have me do an article. I may be doing an tutorial for a website soon that would pay a pretty good fee. Right now though, I am not particularly interested in doing instructional material. I haven't really gotten to the point I want to be at yet. I do realise that making a DVD or doing a book would be nice because it is a product that is infinately reproducable.

Eventually though. It would be nice to do something like that but I am very fixated on teaching myself the silversmith stuff right now.

Peace,
Isaac

 

I tried doing the cross weaving thing and couldn't get it going on like you do. You definately have skill. You might not have been doing it long but you have way surpassed many many artists. I rate you a 20 from 1-10.

You're work always blows my mind! Each piece you create is soooo beautiful and unique. Approximately how long does it take you to produce a piece from start to finish? It mus take quite some time....they're so intracate. I love the smithing work too....beautiful
