The Grooved Bubble Bead tutorial includes instructions to create two types of grooved bubble beads. These beads are very easy to wire wrap, and this a great project for beginner wire wrappers. The tutorial also includes directions to complete two beautiful veneers, and complete instructions to construct a wire wrapped necklace.
Cynthia Gougian - Cynthia might look like a mild mannered medical coder, but her alter ego is a wild, gypsy artisan. The day job just keeps her in art supplies. Friends and family strongly suspect she was one of Santa’s elves in a previous lifetime, possibly the one responsible for the “misfit toys”. She is hard wired to create, and will do just that in any medium she can get her hands on. But, polymer clay remains her favorite medium. She loves color, sparkly things, interesting lines, whimsy, laughing out loud (mostly at herself), children, dogs, and “As seen on TV” products. She is a baker of tasty cakes and cookies, and all around nifty little chief cook and bottle washer. https://www.completeanduttermess.com
