One of my artistic New Year Resolution was to create something, small and original as well as suitable as an all purpose gift at an affordable price for future craft events.
Prediction? Wire weaving is the next big handmade jewelry thing.
Not sure if this is the final resolution answer, but I learned wire weaving and made this yesterday:
Cardinal Red Anniversary Ring ~
Five Swarovski Crystals Lined Up on a Feminine Band
It's a simple technique, and I'm swimming with ideas. For rings, the issue is using better wire (the above is gold colored craft wire). Sterling or gold filled, or possibly copper or stainless, is more practical (but more expensive) for rings.
That one above is actually up for sale on my website (click the blue 'prettycheap' left sidebar) at a frugal price (of course!).
