Sometimes, I make things just because they make me happy—no purpose, no function, just pure joy. This little wire sculpture is one of those things.

It started with a simple idea: try to wire wrap a crystal with irregular shape. Then, I took a long quartz crystal (borrowed from my daughter’s stash!) and wrapped it with 20 gauge silver-toned copper wire to create a pendant. This turned out to be harder than I had supposed it would be. Once it was done, I thought it was so messy but I found it beautiful nonetheless.

Then I wondered what to do with it because I find it hard to wear necklaces. So I took a piece of 12 gauge aluminum wire and bent it into a simple frame. Then hung the wire wrapped crystal on the frame, and just like that, this tiny, “useless” creation was born.

It doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t need to. I love it anyway.
