These simple earrings are wrapped with Wrapit copper wire. Purple Zebra Wire is coiled in between the top two pink beads. Earwire is handmade from nickel silver 20 gauge Wrapit wire. Pink beads are just plastic. Man, I can't wait to purchase some Swarovski beads.

Wire Wrapped Heart Shaped Cabochon

Heart Shaped Cabochon Wrapped in Copper Wire by Tim Whetsel ©2014 Tim Whetsel
We got these two free white heart shaped cabochons from this cool store called Pirates Dream. They have tons of really neat stuff. Lots of shells and beach stuff. Also my favorite, tons of crystals and minerals at very decent price. I will be returning there for jewelry supplies. My two favorite girls each got one and asked me to make pendants for them. I made this one in a couple hours and started the next one which I will post when I'm done. I wrapped this one in "Wrapit" copper wire and used a small amount of purple Zebra wire at the bottom. Added lots of curls and swirls to this one.

Shark tooth cabochon wrapped in copper wire with quartz crystal chip and glass amber beads. A slight patina was added using liver of sulfur. I had planned for a more darker patina, but I used "Wrapit" copper wire from firemountaingems.com that seems to have some kinda of anti-patina coating. I was able to use sand paper to remove the coating in some areas, but the effect I was aiming for was not achieved.
