Imagine jewelry inspiration and tutorials available immediately. \u00a0No need to sign up for a class or take a trip to your bookstore. \u00a0Interweave has rolled out its very first wire eMag and it is ready for download<\/a>! \u00a0Interweave has made it easy to download this new eMag on your PC or MAC, and has plans to debut iPad and other tablet versions this fall.<\/p>\n What makes this online magazine so GREAT? \u00a0Live Wire is interactive – you’ll find articles, tutorials, resources AND videos. \u00a0Scroll around and click – it is easy to find information in greater depth than you would with a traditional magazine. \u00a0Beginner wire workers especially will find the how-to videos by Editor-in-chief, Denise Peck, particularly helpful. \u00a0Watch as Denise walks you the steps to create the perfect wrapped loop, simple loop, wire straightening and making jump rings. \u00a0A special FAQ section and an article on patina\/texture will also help answer those burning wirework questions you might have.<\/p>\n The eMag includes eight fantastic projects with contributions from my friends Kerry Bogert<\/a> and Cassie Donlen<\/a>. \u00a0You will also find projects and articles by Denise Peck, Jane Dickerson, Kate Ferrant Richbourg, Kieu Pham Gray, Karen Keegan, Sara Richardson, and Ronna Sarvas Weltman. \u00a0I think you’ll love the large, screen-sized step-by-step pictures for each project. \u00a0You can also click on the pdf version of the article and you’ll have a copy in your hands lickety split. \u00a0I was asked by a friend recently if this eMag was worth it. \u00a0Oh yes, it is! \u00a0And at a very reasonable price of $9.97, you’ll have access to wire inspiration at your fingertips.<\/p>\n I was excited to be a part of Live Wire eMag. \u00a0I was asked to contribute a basic spiral-based design and was happy to create a wire charm holder pendant. While working on the concept, I created pendants in both bronze and copper. \u00a0You’ll find the copper charm holder in Live Wire, featuring a beautiful ceramic hand pendant by Nan Emmett of Spirited Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n \n I was so inspired after viewing my contributor “copy” of the Live Wire eMag, that I got to work on one of the projects right away. \u00a0I stayed up until 2 a.m. that night to finish it, but I was motivated. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0I was intrigued by the clever construction of Kerry’s coiled wire bangle. \u00a0 I created my bangle with oxidized bronze wire and an amazing polymer clay focal by Christine Damm.<\/a> I love the colorway that Christine used for the beads in this set.<\/p>\n![\"spiral-wire-bails\"](\"http:\/\/www.sweetbeadstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/spiral-wire-bails-515x536.jpg\" "\\"spiral-wire-bails\\"")
