I noticed that you guys were loving my wire work. So I wanted to take a moment to share my story, and post a few more photos. I've been making wire wraps for about two years now, which I honestly just realized. It's something I can do that makes me happy, and that people love! Wearable art!! :D I am truly enjoying making them, although some times creative flow is slower than other times.
This is the front view on a piece of jade that I wrapped for a dear friend. She loved it very much and paid me well for it. (More than my asking price, I must add) Every piece is one of a kind, handmade, and I time everything out. I work for $20/hour currently, making these. I've recently been asked to bring a stockpile down to my FAVOURITE tattoo shop in town, as well, which I am extremely excited about!!
This is another view of the front, in case you were wondering what the other side may look like. I set a timer which I turn off as I take breaks, so everything is accurately timed, and I don't even have to work for too long if I don't feel up to it. I love working on MY OWN TIME :D There is nobody there to tell me to keep going if I'm lacking energy. I am my own boss, and I plan to keep it this way, definitely.
That is what the back of it looks like. My goal is to make them look beautiful, no matter which way you look at it. The back should be just as lovely as the front. I want to know the ways in which you all choose to work for yourselves, and whether or not you keep a 9-5 job. My goal is to never do any sort of work that I do not agree with 100%. My other job is eco-friendly housecleaning!! We don't use any harsh chemicals, and we are equal partners. It makes me feel good to help others as well! Tell me a story~
