The WireWorkers Guild

The month of
FEBRUARY
is associated with
ST.VALENTINE'S DAY
and for jewellers,
chocolatiers and card
makers alike, it is a
commercial opportunity
to create H E A R T
shaped designs or
similar gifts...







It is customary, that on the
14th February people declare
their love for each other, but as
the old adage goes: you must first
learn to love and value yourself
with all the flaws - so that you can
love others so much better.

Therefore, get out your tools, wire and beads
to start making some heart shaped motifs for
yourself, friends and family.
Wire hearts look great on cards, as accessories and of course ...
jewellery!

Below is a Gallery of designs that I
have created in the past, that might
be inspirational to get you started ...
