Pumpkin Pattern on WigJig Electra

Pattern for the Olympus is provided on Page 5.


Step 1:  Cut and straighten a piece of 22G Tangerine Artistic wire 16 inches long.

Step 2:  Position your pegs in your jig as shown at left.  Make a loop in one end of the wire and place it on the left most peg.  Wrap the wire around the pegs in the center 3 1/4 times ending with the wire resting against the peg at the far right.


Step 3:  Remove the wire from the jig.  Using your hands, hold the 3 1/4 turns of wire together in the "pumpkin" shape.  Now grasp the wire at the top of the pumpkin about 3/16" from the left side and by hand wrap the wire tail from the initial peg around the 3 1/4 loops of wire two times.  Next grasp the wire 3/16" from the top right side and do the same thing, wrap the wire in the same direction as before, around the 3 1/4 turns of wire twice.  When done the piece should appear as shown at right. 
 


Step 3

Step 4:  Now we need to wrap the wire around the bottom of the "pumpkin".  Leave some slack in the wire so that we can create a three dimensional, semi-rounded shape, and wrap the two loose wire ends around the bottom of the pumpkin.  When completed it should appear as shown at right.
