Kwey, Kwey,

The Aboriginal Festival was this weekend near Toronto.  I hope all of my Metis brothers & sister who were able to attend had a great inspiring event.

My dear Canadian cousins the Morrisons were there & had a chance to stop by & chat with our Metis brother Arvel Bird, a good time was had by all.

Kwey, Kwey (this is hello in Algonquin)

The creative juices have been flowing these lovely days.  We had 3 awesome shows this month; perhaps you stopped by to visit me at one of them.  I am grateful to all of you who purchased my creations and to those of you who were not able to purchase, your heartfelt words are always appreciated.

Now the holiday season is upon us & perhaps you will find a little something on my site for a great gift or stocking stuffer.

Happy holiday to all

Meegwetch,

Susan

Wire art is found throughout history back to early Egypt. It is created with metal wire mostly Sterling Silver, 14kt Gold, 14kt Gold Fill (sometimes known as Rolled Gold) Brass & or Copper.

The process is that of hand construction and sometimes with the use of pliers to create a bezel around a stone without the use of solder, the tightly wrapped wire holds the stone in place

The wire used comes in various gauges (thickness) generally 24 gauge to 12 gauge in round, square and half round shapes.
