Fly Can Be Pretty Too: Wire & Jewelry Making Tutorial Series T99

By XQ Designs

Learn how to use simple materials and turn them to a beautiful insect. The fly pendant is a very versatile design as you can come up with your own design by altering the technique. You can alter the size of the pendant, add more beads or position the spirals differently to come up with your own unique design. While I was creating the fly, I imagine it can be turn into a beetle, octopus or simply any pendant with spirals.
The tutorial is catered for intermediate, or students with some knowledge of wirework, or anyone who loves to learn this basic wirework technique. It has in-depth instructions and ultra-clear, close-up photos at each step. Additionally, you can ask me question you have on the tutorial. No more getting stuck and frustrated on a confusing or just plain inaccurate pattern.
For beginners, you can refer to appendix for detailed steps of making a spiral.

Really great step-by-step photos, super easy to follow. Some of the wording in the text is awkward, maybe a machine translation? But, directions are still clear and the project is really cute.
