How To Create Dragonflies in Wire | Dragonfly by Jem Hawkes
Рет қаралды 8,176
Күн бұрынToday's free tutorial shows how to create artistic Dragonflies in Wire with Gemstone beads.
These make stunning brooches, cocktail rings, necklaces and decor for the home and garden, are stunning in Window art and light catchers and I've just crafted a Titania's Midsummer Crown using lots of these little beauties.
They build quite quickly and are not over challenging whilst being a great way to practice your wire handling skills.
I've used 1mm / 18g wire for the frame, 6mm faceted (prehnite) beads and 0.4mm / 26g wire for infilling the wings as an optional detail.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. If you wish to see the Titania's Midsummer Crown, head to my Facebook or Instagram for a short video.
Much love, Jem xxx

I love how you teach me the next trick that I am wanting to learn after a wander around Pintrest. I have been trying to figure out how to wrap the beads and there you go and teach it. How do you mind read what I am wanting to play at next?? Loving the wee beastie!! Thank you for always making things look so easy and making me want to try it. You are a great teacher - I look forward to your videos and make a cuppa to "study" what you are doing. Much love from NZ.

And a cocktail ring please! I would love to rock one of these as a fun cocktail ring! I just can't wrap my head around how to attach a ring shank!

P.S. I get a kick out of your words you use while explaining such a "pop on" and calling the dragon fly "the beast". I'm American maybe there common English words or phrases.😂➿➿➿🦋. Could I make a request for an owl sometime?🦉
@JemHawkes 3 жыл бұрын
Great idea I have made owls in the past so will look at revisiting the idea. Wee beastie is more of a Scottish phrase, from a poem by Rabbie Burns, I am not sure why it popped into my mouth at the time! I could really do with a filter between my brain and mouth! Thank you xxx
