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

Labradorite wire-work pendant.

Why did I never think of this before? Nifty idea - making a gemstone-chip tree-of-life and putting an owl (or other bird) in the branches.,

Beautiful eyes, dragon eyes, steampunk-ish eyes; eye cabochons wrapped in elegant wirework.\015\012

I like the asymmetry of this, the way the twisted trunk looks all gnarled, the way the dark round beads look like green fruit peeping out between the leaves.

Showing the design process for a wirework pendant (more of a wirework centrepiece, really) Cool.

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.

Celtic Triskele copper wire wrapped pendant by GypsyMoonArt (original listing is gone)\012A different method of making a triskele; three hammered spirals bound together.

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

Wire wrapped pendant with beads. The interesting part in the middle seems to be made from shaping two wire ends into paddles and then lashing them to another wire which goes between them.

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.

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)

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