Instruction



Lilian’s wire
making Theory and Method                                              
Stretch and strength
are very important part for my wire project. The advantages from its natural
curve can be extended to its
Horizontal and Vertical positions. 



Working
process



            We are going to
make both earrings at the same time. Cut 2.5 circles form spool, to bend the
wire, tightening the angle.  Fold
it until it meets its counterpart and the two halves are parallel to each other.

I use the in Vertical position to form a triangle shape by bend the wire against
its natural curve. Then, use the Horizontal method to form the shape to the second
layer.            For
step by step, I will split this earring working process into three parts.



Single
piece making-> a pair piece making -> a complete pair with crystal pendants.
