Boot Camp 3

This time Boot Camp was all about wire work. Coincidently, I made an impulse purchase of a Coiling Gizmo a week before Boot Camp was announced so I decided to put my new toy through its paces for this challenge.........and I love it!  I've been coiling like a demented person ever since!!  Here is what I came up with.....


I was experimenting with coiling different colours of copper wire together and came up with the links at the bottom which I really liked - they have an almost ancient Egyptian feel to them (for me anyway) so I made the rest of the necklace to fit in with that theme.  It is mostly all wire, with a few Czech Glass beads thrown into the mix.
Please go and have a look at what other people have made for this boot camp - I'm always amazed at the creativity shown in these challenges.  Thanks to folks from the Love my Art Jewelry blog for organising this fun challenge.

    I really like the contrast of the two wires. A very beautiful piece.

    Love the coils. I can see those as elements for so many things. Looks like you are going to have a blast with this design.

      Thanks Libby - yes I can see lots of potential with these coils - I'm going to get quite distracted by them I think!

    This is fantastic!!! I would totally be coiling like a fool too... That obsession kicks full in :)

    I love the slight curve and depth to them!
