Facebook and Twitter, Plus a New Tutorial

Sun Apr 19, 2009, 5:45 PM
Well, 2 new tutorials, when you consider I forgot to post about the last one I did.

Prison Of Enchantment Is a unique way to wrap undrilled stone points. You know, the ones that are so pretty to look at but you just don't know what to do with them? Well, now you got an idea for them *s*

This lesson shows you one way to wrap an un-drilled stone point (though you can use a drilled stone if you like). This particular style gives the finished pendant an old world feel, especially if oxidized.



My Mystic Ring Tutorial teaches you to make a ring which can hold un-drilled stones attractively and securely.

The ring shank design in the tutorial is merely a suggestion. At the end of the lesson you will see other options for the band portion of the ring. Using your own imagination you will be able to adapt the bezel technique in this tutorial so it can be used with many different ring shanks.


I'm also now on both Twitter and Facebook. Soo many people kept asking me if I was on those two sites so I decided to go ahead and sign up for both of them. If you want to check me out on facebook, just search for "Donna Spadafore". I'm the one with a necklace for a profile photo. My Twitter URL is http://www.twitter.com/Gailavira.

Your work is outstanding. It makes me want to go wrap every jemstone I can get my hands on, but then I remember that I don't know how to do that! How long on average does it take you to make one of these? I couldn't imagine having your patience.
Hi,

Thank you so much for the compliment! *s*

The time it takes per piece varies a lot by the type of piece it is, the style, and generally the mood I am in when I make it. I have some pieces that take maybe 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to make. Others can take up 12-15 hours.

I can only hope to get half as good as you! :D
Your work is so interesting!!
Wow, I love the techniques that you use. You have a great and unique gallery. I've alway had a hard time figuring out how to get the stones secured into the piece AND look good. My only option seemed to be drilling holes, to which I have no tools to do that. I hope you don't mind if I look to your pieces for inspiration on how to get them set.

Thank youi so much for the compliments *s*.

I don't mind at all if you use my work for inspiration. In fact, if you go to [link] you will find lots of great tutorials (mine, as well as some by other artists) for setting stones in wire jewelry.
