Amber 2 has now been delivered. This one was a BIGGER challenge and that’s not just because of the size! It had so many inclusions in it and I was determined that I was not going to hide any of them!
I normally tend to just go with the flow when it comes to wire wrapping a stone normally. Maybe a couple of sketches to try and visualise the final result. This time I made lots of drawings and promptly rejected each one because one little fellow or other was going to get covered by wire. Plus I didn’t think we should hide any of the magnificent stone with wire going across the middle.
Then I finally decided on how I would wrap it and realised that I was holding the stone the wrong way! One of the insects would end up upside down! Anyway… we got there in the end and I am really pleased with the finished piece. So are Gary and Vicky. “over the moon” was how he described her reaction!
This has been such an enjoyable project!
