Woven Teardrop Pendant Tutorial---Step by Step Instruction

Description

This tutorial is for the first pendant pictured. The others are variations on this technique.

Here is the second in my series of up and coming tutorials for the wire jewelry artist. I try to keep them as "pure" wire-wrapping with no soldering so that anybody can make them without buying extra equipment. All you need is wire and tools and you're on your way!

This tutorial includes 40 steps and 68 detailed, high-resolution color photos. If you run into any problems or questions, please contact me anytime---I'm always checking my e-mail ;) I'm always happy to hear how people are doing with my instructions and whether or not it's easy to follow, so don't hesitate to give me any consructive criticism.

I will manually send your file to you, so you should expect it within 8 hours after purchase, but usually much sooner.
