Christine has made some beautiful garden designs using twining. I am especially fond of her 'garden gate' concept. She made it for the musical challenge at the Jewelry Makers Forum and you can read more about it over here: http://jewelrymakers.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=challenges&action=display&thread=85
She has also worked a cuff. Isn't the overlay of leaves on top of the twining wonderful? I'm a sucker for bare wire paired with wrapped wire:)
Mary, Thank you so much for posting my pieces! I also appreciate your positive comments. My twining has a long way to go but I am loving finding the rhythm of the weave. Looking forward to seeing more twined pieces!

I'm glad you shared:) You have a very strong style and it comes through in your work.
ReplyDeleteI adore what you have done Christine!!! Makes we want to go home and play with wire!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie! I hope you are able to play with some wire this weekend!
ReplyDeleteChristine's pieces are marvelous and so very encouraging and inspiring!! I think I may have some free jewelry time coming up so I can give twining a roll. :)
ReplyDeleteMary, Do you really think I have a style?? I am not sure what it is. Thank you again for your tutorial and posting my pieces. I am excited to get back to twining after the Holidays.
ReplyDeleteTela, Thank you for your positive words. I am looking forward to seeing the results of your twining adventures!
Christine, From what I have seen so far your work is very organic and earthy. I have struggled with having a sense of my own stlye for many years also.
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to see how you develop in the future:)
Mary, I like that description of my work. Hmmm...I have heard people describe me that way too.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me to hear you too have struggled with a sense of style.
