Hammered wire wrap pendant - 'Dragon heart'

Learn to create this stunning ‘Dragon heart’ wire work pendant with my step-by-step tutorial. In this free video I will show you how to create a hammered wire wrap pendant staring out with a base frame before adding in components. I Love this technique because the wire has so much shine to all the surface area created by hammering!

EDIT: Sorry for the fuzzy picture! I just realised how fuzzy it is on big screen! I have changed set-up for filming and I think I need to revert to what it was before! I hope you can still see what I am doing!

Fine work. Glad to see some heavier gauges being used and the hammering technique. This adds a lot of texture and variety, more sculptural. Love it! Thank you for a very nice tutorial.
