Who else endures horrible neck pain headaches after too much wire wrapping? I've tried sitting in various positions, or different pieces of furniture, with or without extra back support. I've tried magnifying glasses to see if that helped. I got an OTT lite. But I guess what it boils down to is that no matter what, I'm still looking down for long periods of time. I just can't hold it all up and work in front of my face! I love wire wrapping too, but in cases like this necklace, it's just literally a pain in the neck.
Remember those butterflies I got? I finally did something with one of them. After wrapping about 70 Labradorite chips, I found the perfect lampwork bead, and added the ivory colored butterfly. It can be worn long or wrapped twice, and it fastens in the front with a sterling hook. I'm very pleased with it. I only wish I knew the secrets of photographing Labradorite so that all its luminous glory shows.
That is a huge butterfly pendant, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery spring time! I love the lampwork bead above the butterfly and as always your wire wrapping is perfect.

ReplyDeletelooking down a lot sure leads to neck pain. i was cutting out a delicate stencil pattern recently, and my neck was KILLING ME after about 30 minutes of work. ugh!
Stupendous! I love the lab..and that butterfly is wild...in a good way. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow that's a lot of wire wrapping, what kind of wire are you using?
ReplyDeleteI put a beading tray on my lap and sit on the couch with my OTT lite at my side.I find I have less neck pain this way than sitting at the table.
Labradorite is my all time favorite gemstone and this necklace ROCKS!
