Four hour class
Expand the Toodles Weave to capture a cabochon or cameo. Learn to weave fine wire around a heavier frame, a little or a lot, all around or as a highlight. This is my tutorial, featured in the Summer 2007 *Preview* edition of Step By Step Wire Jewelry magazine, which is now out of print. Come learn the weave from the author - moi!

*Skill Level: Beginner but experience with wire is Very helpful -- Never handled wire before? Come join the addiction!

Lovely Tiger Eye, perfectly round, all swirls and spirals, oxidized to bring out all the detailed depths.

A lovely fossilized coral cabochon, 30x40mm, wrapped up in a tight Toodles Weave. Beautiful copper, deeply oxidized for easy care and gorgeous detail.

No solder, no glue, just skill and patience with wire and pliers.

Guitar Pick with Tiger Eye


Ta-da! The first in a series of jewelry showcasing guitar picks, inspired by my Nashville trip.

Lovely, chatoyant, shimmering tiger eye from Turquoise Magpie, each rectangle is over 1" long, with tiny bali style spacers and 20 gauge sterling silver wire, carefully twisted into place, suspended from 3mm brown leather cord.

18" long

Do YOU have a favorite pick that needs hanging?
