Amethyst druzy focal, clasped within gold and silver branches.

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

Nifty idea, to make a hollow braid out of wire and then fill it with beads.

Cool fly (or bee) made from wire and beads.

Simple but elegant; large glass bead used as a focal for a leather and wire-wrapped necklace.

Pretty wire-woven bracelet with beads peeking out like peas in a pod.

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.

Wire and bead ring. Interesting because the bead is attached with an eyepin and bead caps, rather than using the main wire threaded through the bead. This enables the main wire to be thicker and thus more sturdy.

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

Beads strung on stiff wire, and then wrapped with wire in a spiral along the whole thing. Lovely. (original listing gone)

_Silk Road Gypsy Hoop Earrings, Small, Eclectic, Teal and Red, Silk Wrapped Copper Earrings_ Interesting idea: wrap a hoop with silk strips (recycled sari silk, most likely) and then bind it with wire and beads. (original listing is gone)

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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