This is the wire work
and inspired by what Carmel had done but not having the same little gizmos, I finished mine with a Krafty Lady mould (of course)... I rolled a ball, pushed the wire in it, and pressed it into the mould. I'm very happy with the design.
Well, that was fun, I then had to try with three wires, and wider! Well, nice, but sheesh, mistakes show up quite a bit, and it's not as easy to undo as knitting!!
Anyway, it's been fun, still I have no idea how to finish the copper one... and I'm sure the "mistakes" won't show as much when it's a piece of jewellery!
You can see Carmel's wire creations here and here.

Wow, that's awesome!!! I can't even get wire off the spool without it going in 5 different directions at once, and never again regaining its once-pristing smoothness...
Wow! These look great France. The buttons on the end are the perfect finishing touch - love it, love it, love it!
I am not a wire working person, but your attempts are lovely!
I love those France, the polymer clay is a great touch! Did you have to hammer the wire after braiding, to harden it?
Ooh very nice France! You are so versatile.
looks pretty cool to me France. I think miss Carmel has inspired us all ! Love the use of the KL moulds too.
Love it !

These look great France, it's always nice to try something new. Thanks for visiting my blog, sometimes I think I'm blogging to myself (lol). As for Linda B's tute, I've had lots of time to blog surf in the last week and I reckon Linda's stuff is yummo.
Hope to see you at Friday's SAJ's (i'll see how the toe feels).
Cheers!
