Art Attack Thursday!
Many of you are already familiar with Eni’s work, I’m sure, because of the fabulous tutorials that she writes. Did you know that she also has a beautiful gallery full of her work that she sells? Prepare to feast your eyes on the most glorious wire and gem jewelry!
Hi Cyndi, I like the way the spiral wrapping adds textural change to the main structural elements of the work. All too often I see wire wrap jewelry where the wire is a single unvarying line, whereas Eni adds life to them.
Eni just keeps pushing the artform. My own wirewrapping is what you described…a single line…but hers is simply amazing!
I simply adore the wire wrapping, colours and embellishments on the first necklace of Eni’s.
I havn’t looked at her site for a long time and last week managed to finally do it. How wonderful would it be to do a class with her one on one?
Oh you betcha! It’s on my list. Last summer, I managed to take a class with Nancy Eha, and my next goal is one with Eni
You lucky girl!!! This is one of the many times when I wish I didn’t live on the other side of the world…
You must have wonderful teachers in Oz too!
