    exploring new stitches :)

    My main focus now is to explore some new and old stitches. I'm playing with convex forms, trying to see what else except from swirls and curvy lines can be made in wire-wrapping and it turns out you can make every shape and style with this technique :)

    Here are some of my latest works :)

    Here's a pair of earrings I completed yesterday. I'm now working on a pendant with the same square design.

    These are really tiny (only 4.5cm with earwires) but were really time-consuming. The frame is three-dimensional and was created of 5 soldered and frames wrapped together with a stitch I'm often using for the bands of my rings.

    These were made to practice making convex forms. I really like the colour combo in them :)

    This pendant was commissioned by one of my best customers. She's sent me this citrine moon and aksed to enclose it in a medallion in a shape of a sun. Stitches on the frame resemble rays of light...

    This is a set made to match a wedding gown - it was really time-consuming due to the number of beads wiven into it.

    And these are cuff-links made for the groom - the future husband of the customer who's ordered the set pictured above. I had fun while making them and I'll be making more because this design seems to fit many tastes ;)

    I hope you've enjoyed watching those pictures. For more, please visit my gallery :)

    Thank you,
    Iza

     Hi Iza!

    I am enjoying so much your new designs! I love how you solved the one with the sun and the moon. It is just perfect! I hope your client loved it as well. And the wedding combo for both the bride and groom is lovely! I can imagine just how good they will look with they're matching jewelry on their big day.

    You are a continuing inspiration  for all of us!

    These are gorgeous and creative, as always!  Just last week I was thinking we hadn't seen anything from you for a while so it was about time,  and here you are!
