Fiberwire

FiberwireI've spent a lot of years accumulating yarns, threads and fibers for what use I was never sure. It was most often the case that I simply couldn't leave the shop I was in without a particularly gorgeous fiber. Enamored by often breathtaking colors, I simply found these fibers stimulating to look at and inspirational as an artist.

It also took me several years to learn how to incorporate those gorgeous fibers into my wire jewelry work. I tried unsuccessfully to use the fibers alone to make jewelry but I just couldn't get it to look right. When I started combining the fiber with wire however, I found my niche.

Fiber and metal combined provides a unique opportunity to add color to your wire jewelry pieces. The metal provides the strength and stability jewelry requires as well as adding the contrast of metal's shine and sparkle. Colored fibers can take your breath away. Combine them and you have a match made in heaven.

One of the great things about these earrings is that the wire you build the earrings on turns into the ear post for easy and elegant construction. This construction method also produces a very sturdy and reliable earring.
