Beads and Wire

Beads and WireThere's no doubt that integrating beads with wire can greatly enhance the beauty and appeal of art jewelry. There's just something so delicious about the color and sparkle of gorgeous beads. While I typically focus on the wire work, every so often I just have to go for the beads. I hope you enjoy the same inspiration here.
