My name is Bobbi, and I've been making jewelry for over 20 years.....longer if you count the paper mache' and plastic-straw beads I made in grade school :) I fell in love with wire over 18 years ago - I spent countless hours in the local libraries trying to research anything I could find about it - back then very little was written on wire wrapping and most successful wire workers were tight lipped on technique and style......Most of my inspiration comes from Master Wire Worker Jim Fowler. I recently started writing tutorials, to share what I have accumulated over the years, and teach in person whenever I can. I love wire wrapping - It is not a hobby, it is My Passion, My Love, My Living........ . ~~~~~~~ Aside from that I adore my animals (my roommate calls me Noah), I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, a fish pond full of Koi, and a total of about 50 birds - from Finches to Cockatoos - My family of critters if anyone is interested........Suie, Patches, Miss Kitty, Tom, Fred, Lacie, BabyDoll, Chewie, Pluck & Feather, Squeak, Rollie, Pickles, Larry Mo & Curly, the Vulture Twins, Sparky, Fidgett, Max, Murphy & Gabby, and Mumble....phew....... :)

I'm very proud to finally offer this tutorial - it's been a long time coming, and a lot of hard work.
I've taught wire wrapping in person for many years, but writing instructions for someone I will not be teaching in person, has been to say the least challenging. My style of writing is… Continue
I've been really busy lately ~ Through the urging and support of my really sweet friend Corra I've started writing tutorials for some of my more popular pieces, and for some really vintage designs, that I dug up out of my 'stash' of old prototypes.
