The oohhs and aahhs from our last post on wire wrapping (see our February blog post) are still being voiced. I am so in love with this jewelry making technique that I just can’t help but find beautiful jewelry pieces and artisans to talk about. Here is yet MORE Wire Wrapping Inspiration for sharing!
Aren’t these earrings by Sabina at Sabi Krabi to die for? I find her work very inspiring! https://www.etsy.com/transaction/133570639?
This is a Russian designer that is doing some seriously beautiful work! http://www.strukova.ru/shop

Barbara at ArtNSoul Jewels is creating beautiful jewelry. I like how she has woven the brass wire to create an interesting design element. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtNSoulJewels
It would be sweet to be sporting an armful of bangles from Angelique at Stone Delite. I like all this texture and variety of wire colors. https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1024157043?
Bonnie at Sparrow Tale was also featured last week, but check out these wire wrapped paddle earrings! They’d go perfect with the necklaces I’m crazy about!
