Goldstone and copper wire and copper beads, all go so well together. Wire and beads cover only half the donut, giving some interesting a-symmetry and negative space. Also, the beads are not on every turn of the wire, only every third turn, again avoiding uniformity.

A _GoGo_ donut with three strands of square wire coming up through the hole and swirling in a loop and vanishing again. Pretty cool.

Copper pendant with beads, hammered wire, twisted wire, and a lovely basketweave sort of effect. Unusual because of the weave, and because there are three layers of wire before you get to the beads.

Oooh, now that is cool. Rather than an oval or circle, this is a bowed rectangle, made by four slightly curved hammered wires together. And then the inside of the area is filled with pearls and swirls.\015\012

Straight column of beads, with one wire curling around them in a corkscrew fashion. Simple but effective.

Wire-wrapped pendant, with silver beads forming the centre and points of an asymetrical flower. Cool. (I'm not sure where the original came from, this was posted on a forum)

Caged Aventurine ball, cage made up of S-shaped swirls and round rings bound together. Pretty. (original page gone)

Circles within circles. I wouldn't really think of this as a kaleidoscope image, but it is fascinating to look at. (original listing is gone, linking to artist)

What I like about these is that at first I thought it was triskele spirals, but it isn't, it is one curly spiral and one S-shaped spiral. Simple yet elegant.

Swirly teardrop shape with a band of four wires on one side, each fanning out to curve back and attach to the spine, where there are beads too. Pretty.

Simple yet elegant. Four wires swirling in a loopy teardrop.

Noted for the fourth example on the page: a square-spiral-fractal pendant. Really cool.

Fascinating double-swirled wirework pendant, like a cross between a Celtic knot and intertwined teardrops.

Hammered Aluminium wire square spiral earrings. I like the idea; the hard thing would be to make two identical pieces for two earrings. (original listing has gone)

Christmas-tree pendant, hammered wire and beads; cool idea.

Hammered twisted wire-work.

This artist achieved the spirograph effect by wrapping the wire around a circle which was made of twisted hammered wire, thus providing tiny notches for the thin wire to slip into.

Uses moon and stars beads to make a celestial night themed tree-of-life pendant.

Beautiful wire and metal vine leaves and vines necklace.

Pretty twiny-viny wire beaded necklace centrepiece tutorial.
