Artistic Wire Mesh

by Carmi Cimicata

Artistic wire mesh is an exciting new product with lots of possibility!  Artistic Wire Mesh is permanently colored copper wire woven into a mesh tube that’s been flattened, and is perfect for many different jewelry and craft fusion projects. Its hollow tubular design can be stretched, condensed, strung on, filled, tied, glued, and more! Fill the wire mesh with shaped pieces of wire, or stretch the mesh to create 3-D shapes.

I used it in combination with the new wire wrappers to create this necklace.

If you have not worked with mesh before you’ll be happy to learn it is available in two sizes (18 and 10mm wide) and all the classic metallic colours.

For my necklace I used a number of fantastic new items: 1.  New for Dazzle-It :  Rhodium/Teal Agate Nuggets. 2.  Artistic Wire Horseshoe shaped wrappers and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS burgundy blue briolettes. 3.  Silver Artistic Wire Mesh 10mmx1m Silver 4.  Gold Artistic Wire Mesh 18mmx1m Gold I also used wire, necklace crimps, round washers wrapped with fibers, hammered-effect beads, large-link chain and a jumbo lobster clasp.

Experiment with mesh to create something unique!
