This year I created snowflake necklaces for my youngest daughter’s Christmas school sale. Creating these shapes from wire was very pleasant. I even added some beads to them.

A Little Wire Creation That Brings Me Joy
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 …
