Getting your Fill of Filigree
As some of you know, I’m quite the fan of filigree. Creating filigree work with polymer can take some patience but it’s so rewarding and even a little Zen when you get going on it.
Here is a wonderful tutorial using flat ropes of polymer to create traditional metal look bands of simple and braided filigree. http://polymerclayfimo.livejournal.com/1068524.html#cutid1
For many of us, translation to English will be needed.
But if you don’t want to get into all that but do love the filigree look, I found this wonderful site with just tons of beautiful filigree pieces you can use to incorporate into your pieces: http://www.ornamentea.com/filigree.htm

I like the filigree work Her work looks real metal and rich.
Thanks for the link. She does such beautiful tiny intricate filigree work. I would certainly need a special magnifying lens.
