These photos show one of my dragonfly beads, with free form wire wrapping to create a pendant. The instructor turned me on to the wire, it is a square coated wire, non-tarnish and affordable, ($2.75 for 5 feet), dead soft 21 gauge, Para wire. I strung the necklace with tiny metallic Delica seed beads. I tried larger beads and felt that they detracted from the focal; I wanted something complimentary but simple. There are 2 strands of delicas, one shorter than the other.
