Wire Wrapped Sea Glass Butterfly Project

Wire Wrapped Sea Glass Butterfly Project

I've been wanting to wire wrap a more complex piece of jewelry with multiple pieces of sea glass.

After much thought and designing, I worked out a butterfly concept. The image I worked from was a moth, but I think butterfly sounds better. A large moth was resting its wings on a window. It was a bizarre image because I was able to manipulate the perspective to make you think it was a giant moth. It was a great way to study its anatomy.
It took quite a bit of digging through my white sea glass to find the most suitable pieces for this project.
I spent three long sessions of wire wrapping to complete this project. A session is usually 2-3 hours for me.

I used a small piece of driftwood for the body.

This wire wrapped sea glass butterfly is a brooch.
