Master class on filigree from cord

When I studied the technique of a jeweler-filigree in the end received a diploma.

Life ordered so that I did not have to work for a long time on Jewelry Niva, but skills and desire to drive something and bother left.

I somehow came across for the new year in my hands the rope of the jute cord, I turn her in my hands, elastic, bends and twisted in rings obedient. Just herself wondering the property is a jute rope. So it is plastic and elastic (almost like scan), that one pleasure to work with it. Quickly accepts and saves the form.

And I needed to do something "seek".

Materials:

• Jute cord,
• scissors,
• tweezers,
• Glue type "Titan" (transparent),
• paper sheet in a cage,
• File leaf,
• Scotch.

Let's try to start to make such a feather.

It consists of two types of elements - loops and curls. We will need for the work of the jute cord, the Glue "Titan" or "Ekon" (they are transparent and non-toxic are well thick and invisible when drying, which does not spoil the finished work). File leaf or plastic bag

On paper, draw an outline of the idea. Figure place in the file.

We wash the place where we will fix the element.

The initial element is this segment with curls, we will be attached to it the following elements.

We make such a loop and fastened it to the main rope. Lossing with glue space under the element.

The next element is curl. It is attached to the loop. It is desirable more precise and tightly customized the items to each other.

So I will give the rope the necessary form.

That's the part for the detail and should turn out our feather.

As you can see, I did not quite exactly follow the drawing, because It was already in the inertia, and beginners better to do exactly in drawing - the skill is produced.

After completed work. We put it under the press (book) so that all the elementals were on the same level. We are waiting for hours six that glue is trying finally (hardened). We subsequently use the stationery knife and carefully remove from the file sheet. Then carefully get rid of glue nodes, give the product a neat look. Everything, work is ready!

If you learn how to make loops and curls, and even to connect them more precisely to each other, then it will go! And these features can also be applied - decorate with rhinestones or beads. I wish you all creative good luck !!!

And some more works.
