I’ve created a new tutorial for a wire weaving pattern.  Based on macrame technique, the pattern which I am calling “Celtic Twist” has a delicate series of loops along both sides of a base wire. My tutorial has more than 40 pages of instruction that include photographs, illustrations and text, and  will take you through the steps to replicate the pattern, and use it to make a Pi Stone Pendant.  You can see the listing and learn more here.

As well, I’ll be using this pattern in my Garden and Home section, and have some other ideas to work on too! To keep updated, just go to Talisman Too and Favorite my shop.  You’ll see my new listings in your Etsy Feed.

It’s been several months since I began writing tutorials on some of the patterns I have developed, and only now have I realized I never posted the news on my blog. Shame on me! Especially as I am working on another pattern I will be calling “Melody Wrap.”

My first wrapping lesson was called “Bead and V Wrap,” which incorporates Bicone Metal Beads(or any bead shape) along one wire, with slanted wires accenting on each side.

I’ve yet to see a piece created from the lessons “in the wild,” as they say, but if you have used one of them, and want to send me images of your finished pieces, I’d love to add them here to showcase your work!
