Wire-Sculpture’s Snowflake Jewelry Making Contest

It’s been snowing heaps along the Atlantic coast recently, as well as in other places, and I wanted to remind you that it’s not too late to enter Wire-Sculpture.com’s 2010 Snowflake Jewelry Contest!

Warm your fingers up, shovel off your workstation, and get out your jewelry making tools . It’s time to get twisting!

This year, we were inspired by the snowflake. No two are alike, and neither are any two wire jewelry makers. Here in Utah, snowflakes aren’t uncommon—in fact, there’s snow on the ground here now. Also, we’re enjoying watching the 2010 Winter Olympics are happening right now in Vancouver, B.C.—but did you know that at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, one of the symbols was the snowflake?

To enter the contest, all you have to do is create a snowflake using wire, crystal beads, and large-holed freshwater pearls, and send us pictures of it! Make sure you name your entry, too, and include step-by-step instructions. You can find a complete set of rules at the contest page, or at the bottom of this article, but don’t let them limit you—use as many cabochons, beads, and crystals as you like.

Speaking of cabochons, I think a sparkling druzy cabochon would make a beautiful center stone in a snowflake—what do you think? I bet you can come up with some neat effects by twisting wire, working with chain maille, or bezeling to create a piece that represents snowfall and winter to you.

Make a hairpin, necklace, ring, even a Christmas ornament—anything that reminds you of a chilly winter snowflake.

We’re excited to see your entries, and we’re also excited to award prizes! The Grand Prize has a $650 value, and the winner will get to be our personal guest at one of our Wired Workshop Weekends. In addition to prizes, two other winners, the Wire-Sculpture Staff Choice winner and the Popular Vote winner, will get a personalized review of their project from Dale “Cougar” Armstrong!

Speaking of Dale, she created her own snowflake for the contest. Check it out:

So make sure that you create, photograph, and enter your snowflake by February 28, 2010 at the contest page. We here at Wire-Sculpture are excited to see your design—we’ve loved the entries we’ve seen already. Stay warm and happy wire crafting!

Note: Please be sure to follow these rules; if you do not follow them completely, we will have to disqualify your entry. To qualify your snowflake design as an official entry, these are the rules to follow:

  • You must purchase a selection of large-holed freshwater pearls and/or crystal beads from Wire-Sculpture to use in your snowflake design
  • Create your own original snowflake design using only traditional wire jewelry techniques.
  • No solder, glue or any type of adhesive is allowed
  • Name your entry
  • Send us two good pictures, one of the BACK as well as the FRONT
  • Include the step-by-step directions, both written and photos as well as a list of the supplies used such as wire gauges and tempers, and any embellishments, etc. Click Here for an example of how the step-by-step directions should be.

Wire Jewelry Contest Winner Determined!

September 15, 2009—Salt Lake City, UT.  Wire-Sculpture.com has announced the winner of their 2009 “Inspired Druzy” Jewelry Contest by naming Ms. Rhonda Chase, with her piece entitled “Crystal Cave,” the Grand Prize Winner.   As the Grand Prize winner Ms. Chase will receive a “Wired Retreat,” a convention held in Buffalo, NY, in October.

The value of this prize is $1797  and will feature instructor Dale “Cougar” Armstrong, an expert in the art of wire jewelry making.  She has several projects planned as well as some fun surprises for all participants!

Ms. Chase also receives free accommodation at the retreat, being hosted at the Buffalo Hilton Garden Inn, as well as meals.  The Grand Prize did not include transportation to and from Buffalo.

The essay submitted by Ms. Chase is poetic and is included herein along with a photograph to demonstrate what it takes to create a winning masterpiece when making wire jewelry.

Grand Prize Winner Entry - Crystal Cave“Plink. Plink. Plink.
A drip.
A faint glimmer.

The moonlike gleam of a stray ray of sunlight. Walk into the dark. Quiet. The world is gone. A new world awaits.

Turn on a light. And see. Like you’ve never seen before.

Enter the cave. Resplendent walls of crystal with fabulous spires and drops. A spectacular shining cavern and a silent secret river sliding past the stone. At the center of it all, a magnificent still pool, saying nothing, but drawing great attention by its beauty. Crystal formations lie just beneath the waters’ surface, shimmering with uncanny light in this dim world. On the banks of the pool, banded layers of gemstone laid down over eons. “

A crystal cave was the inspiration for my Druzy artwork. These fabulous caverns present a world within our own, mystical in appearance, but completely earthbound. The very core of the earth itself–rock. My beautiful Druzy looks like a still blue pool at the base of the cave. Look into the pool, and see the sparkle of crystals beneath the water, the reflection of gems above. Look around the pool and see a liquid silver river winding slowly past it and through the cavern. The Druzy appears to float in its setting so that it is not obscured from light or view.  I have enhanced my crystal cave with Botswana agate and Swarovski crystals carefully chosen to match and accentuate the Druzy. You can see the river break into swirls and eddies as it splashes into these formations. And as the water comes around the far side of the crystal pool, five free-hanging rivulets of fine sterling chain and hand-wrapped links create small, gentle streams. After this, the river will continue on, the cave will continue on, but we can see no further.”

Beyond the Grand Prize, a Public voting and the favorite pick by Wire-Sculpture.com staff prizes went to Stephanie Eddy for her “one Man’s Pond Scum” pendant and Marie Parker for her “Life’s Hope” piece, respectively.   Ms. Eddy won a $100 Gift Certificate from Wire-Sculpture and an autographed copy of Dale Armstrong’s new “Wire Working” book with personalized comments about her entry.  Ms. Parker also received the same for her wire jewelry entry.

The contest required that each contestant create an original piece of wire jewelry using at least one Druzy Gemstone  Cabochon, submit a photo and write an essay about the piece describing where the inspiration came from to create it.  Each entry was judged for its originality (30 points), for its creativity (30 points), and for the artist’s ability to tie in their inspiration for naming the piece and their essay with the created wire jewelry piece (40 points).  There were over 50 entries in the contest.

The term “Druzy” (also spelled as Drusy or Druse) refers to the tiny crystal which is formed within or on another stone in a large number. When the ground water that carries dissolved, silica is through force pushed into the porous area of rock, rapid cooling occurs and it causes the formation of minute crystals.

Wire-Sculpture.com offers wire jewelry making supplies, ideas, and education to hobbyists and professional jewelry-makers and as a result provide the jewelry-making community with a platform to run competitions.  These contests are not only fun but help jewelry makers find inspiration, learn new techniques, and build a community of artists that love to create jewelry pieces.

Reviewing Family Craft Ideas

art and craft

Getting crafty is a fun way to spice up cold winter days. Art and craft projects are a great way to get the kids together and create pieces that you’ll cherish for years. There are a number of craft ideas that are suitable for kids of all ages, so let your imagination go wild. In this article, we’ve got some fun and easy craft projects to get you through the cold weather.

Christmas cards don’t have to be just for Christmas. They are so beautiful that they can be used for a variety of art and craft pieces. Collect cards that have beautiful winter scenes on them and turn them into scented sachets that are decorative enough for any room. To make the sachets, simply glue the bottom and side edges of the card together and then slip a small amount of potpourri or cotton balls dampened with your favorite scent into the space. Use a hole punch to make two holes on the top edge, through which you can thread a pretty ribbon before tying a bow. Leftover or recycled ribbon from Christmas is ideal. If you leave a loop in the ribbon, the sachets can be hung on door handles, coat hooks or hangers.

Old greeting cards, ornaments and even buttons can really come in handy. Collect small glass jars or buy some cheap candle votive jars. Cut out pretty scenes, flowers, or shapes like stars and squiggles, and glue them to the jar. You can even collect letters to spell out your name. Gold, silver and sparkly/glittery objects look especially beautiful when the candlelight shines through the jar. Simply glue the cutouts to the jars and you’ll have beautiful, personalized candle holders for your home.

If you love the beauty of stained glass windows, then you can get the same look at home in no time with glass paint motifs. You’ll need paints specifically made for craft ideas involving glass, a glass paint outliner in black, a stable acetate sheet and a template. You can make templates yourself out of cardboard. Candlesticks, religious icons like crosses, and butterflies are all popular choices but you can make whatever interests you. Start by laying the acetate foil over the pattern. Trace the design onto the foil using the outliner paint. Once the paint is dry, you can paint inside the lines either in one solid color or a variety of colors. Once the colors dry, cut the motif out and fasten it to the window with scotch tape with the painted side facing out.

If you’re looking for simple craft ideas, then hop onto the internet or look for some craft books. You’ll be able to find ideas and patterns for ornaments, greeting cards and other decorations. Before you drop a fortune at expensive hobby shops, look around for inexpensive materials at dollar stores and sewing shops. Even old Christmas cards and decorations can be recycled into new arts and crafts. Most importantly, get creative and enjoy the time with your family.
