Octopus pendant with green sea glass and swarvoski crystals. And it has EIGHT legs, as it should.\012\015(Could not find original page)

I like the way this has simple curves and twirls. (original page has vanished)

Labradorite wire-work pendant.

Polymer Clay Tentacle Pendant by TNTPatterns Cool idea: take a seashell, and make just the tentacles wrapped around it (in polymer clay) (one quibble: the octopus suckers would be grasping the shell, not showing on the outside)

Blue glass marble and wire woven _snails_ jewellery. The link has a tutorial you can buy for 10 dollars, and more pics. I like the colors and ethereal effect, and if one isn't crazy about snails, one can think of them as seashells.

Cool way of wrapping a diamond-shaped stone (or a bead) so that the frame is a leaf and the _veins_ of the leaf are what cages the stone.

What I like about this is the way that it uses heart-shaped beads for the leaves of the shamrock.

Beautiful wrapped stone pendant; swirls and swoops which are slightly off-centre which makes it dynamic; border all around the outside holds two jump-rings for the chain to attach to, so that the pendant will sit properly and not twist around.

Turquoise donut pendant with satin cord Kumihimo braids on each side attached to it. What makes this interesting is that I think the braids started from the pendant, given the way the cords are wrapped around it, though I could be mistaken. But I like that idea, anyway.\015\012

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.

Fantasie pendant, cool idea: rather than just wrap wire or do crochet around a central stone, why not bead around it? Not sure why that never occurred to me.

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)

Pretty wire-wrapped cabochon tutorial, with some cool zig-zags.

The last picture on the page particularly intrigues me; a combination of wire work and polymer clay where the wire is attached in the middle of the work, not on the edges. Could probably do something similar with punched holes in other materials.

Quartz crystal wrapped in a netted cage of brass rods. Could probably do the same with long beads on eye-pins. (original listing gone)

Lovely but simple wire-work with thick wire around glass marbles; a set of three matched pendants, one above the other. (the original site has vanished)

A step-by step picture tutorial wrapping a gemstone-bead in a wider shape. Good to see how that kind of thing is done; I've seen lovely stuff in this style but not how it's done.

Very chunky, industrial, almost Steampunk. Also interesting way of using flat wire.
