I took a workshop today, making a twined-wire petal pendant. Marilyn Moore has developed many time-saving methods for working with this very fine wire to acheive the color blending that is her trademark.
This is her studio, and some of the other students, Tenny and Karen, working away. She has lots of colors of wire for us to choose, using two or three colors to create a gradation. I chose a dark blue and dark green, which turned out to be pretty close in value, so it's hard to see the gradation in the photo, but it's there!
This is near the beginning, with all of the spokes inserted.
Karen's finished petal. She used three colors - a dark, middle and light green.
Tenny's finished petal. She chose a dark and light purple.
