I have been seriously addicted to Perri's (Shaktipaj) wickedly wonderful wired beads for a long time - Come to find out addiction has been re-defined with  Perri's newest tutorial Doric Column Beads. " width="300" align="texttop" height="90">

I got the tutorial as soon as it was listed on Etsy, and ended up being up ALL night - I just couldn't stop. I spent several hours feverishly going through my bead stash, and there is probably another 10 combos laid out on my bench.

The silver and faceted amethyst was the first, and I need to work on my oxidizing skills since that's a fairly new avenue for me - I'm a gold girl, but am drifting to the dark side . " width="300" align="middle" height="215">

My favorite (so far) is the 3rd one (1st photo) that I did. The pictures don't show it very well but I used one of the newest Swarovski colors, 4mm Fire Opal and 2mm Crystal AB - the bead is barely 1/2 inch long.

The last one I did is in mixed metals and Labradorite drops. I need to work on that idea some more since it didn't turn out exactly as it was in my head. I was aiming for a 'sea-anemone' look, and though I like it, and its close, its not quite there yet." width="300" align="right" height="171">

Hear, hear, Bobbi. Thank-you Perri, you're the reason I gave wire wrapping another go. I may not stick with it, but I love what you do. Great work, Bobbi, I'll be keeping an eye on your designs too.
