Hi!!
this pendant is an idea I've been "cooking" for a while, you can see here my attemts. I remember when I saw this technique the first time ...it was at my neighbor’s house, her mother (who past away after a long battle against spinal cancer) used to have a framed abstract piece made by waving different colors of thread forming a huge design so intricate, I always remembered it, I'm not sure if she made it. About two months ago, thinking about that piece of art, I thought that something like this could be applied to wirework, so I looked up in the web to try to find the name of this technique with no luck. I'm thinking how to name this pendant maybe wire waved pendant? so if some of you know the name of this technique or has a creative name for this piece, you are more than welcome to leave a comment. I believe this technique was on fashion in the 70's. As for the materials, I used Brass and copper, and attached a nice Prenite teardrop. This is definitely in my list of tutorials to do.

Hi, When I was in school a friend taught me to do this with a ruler and pencil. and then with string. She called it a hyperbolic paraboloid.-Betty
Hi Mari, this particular method is similar to the Maltese needlework of Ganutell. Here's a link: http://www.beadsky.com/ganutell.php?ln=en
Hola Mari, llegué a ti buscando venzolanos en Etsy, que bello es tu trabajo, me gustaría mucho alguna vez aprender la técnica del Enamel, creo que en Peru y Bolivia hay bastante de este tipo de arte, ya que he visto muchas joyas allá con motivos Incas.
Saludos y felicidades por tu trabajo, suerte tan lejos de aqui.
