The Ladder Technique



I thought it was time to try out some new wire techniques, so I bought the book Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders by Irina Miech. In this book, I learned the ladder technique, which involves securing to pieces of chain to a clasp, and then wiring beads between the chains. This creates a ladder effect because the beads are stacked next to one another creating the rungs between the chain.

I thought I'd try my hand at the ladder technique using some beautiful czech glass beads I bought from BrookO's shop on etsy.

I'm still working on it, but here's a sneak peek at my efforts.




Stay turned for more craft adventures!
