Sparkle and Swirl
Artist: Lynn Kvigne (Underwood, IA)
"I absolutely love the ability to free form with wire! It unleashes the creativity I adore, and allows me to swirl, twist and create shapes that have no twin anywhere. This centerpiece was created one Sunday afternoon on my deck. I cut seven pieces of sterling wire, gazed out at the scenery (we live on an acreage and there's plenty to look at!) and shaped, twisted and swirled to my heart's delight. Arranging the seven separate "doodles" into an eye-pleasing asymmetrical design, I hooked them together with hand-made jump rings, and decided they needed some sparkle. The Swarovski® [bicone bead] dangles add definition and keep the pieces hanging straight. The matching earrings are a little less crazy, but still keep that same sparkle and swirl mindset, and complete my look. This is one of my favorite pieces to wear, and it always draws compliments!" — Lynn Kvigne
