Hello!
My name is Kris and I am the artist behind Fluid Metals Studio.
I have never written a blog before, so, hang in there with me. Introduction: Ta-da! Here I am...an artist, an entrepreneur, a mom, and someone who has way too many hobbies! :) I knit and crochet both yarn and wire. I sew and quilt. I draw, sketch, and paint. I weave wire and wood. I embroider both traditionally with embroidery thread and with ribbon. I make patterns for knitting, crochet, sewing and jewelry making......It is a wonder I have time to breathe!! :)
I am completely self-taught and continue to learn new techniques. I have been wire wrapping for many years now and it is, if I had to choose a technique, my favorite. The other techniques I use in my jewelry designs are: forging, soldering, metal manipulation, different patina's, texturing, fold forming, and so on.
I like working with various metals and find each interesting in their own way.....
So,I suppose I should tell you what I've been up to recently.......
I have started working on some tutorials on Craftsy I have one up and ready and am working on another. 5 Wire Weaving Wrapping Techniques is the one already up. This tutorial is for the beginning wire worker. It shows 5 wrapping weaving designs, one of which is with beads. It might also be good for those with some experience in wire work who are looking for more patterns to use in their designs.
The second tutorial is one that will require a little experience to do. This one is a project for a copper and pearl bracelet. It should be done shortly. I will post a link once it's complete!!! Yay! Hopefully, there will be more to come!
This is the end of the brief synopsis of me. So hello and welcome to you all! I look forward to getting to know you too! Thanks for reading.
