Welcome!
Welcome to ArtWireLace© World! I'm Yulia, a passionate crafter and ArtWireLace© founder. Next to me is my sister Asya. ArtWireLace© adventure is dedicated to Asya. It's about the hook, the wire and the loop. Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated with the look and design of lace. I always wanted to capture the beauty of it in wire jewellery. And finally, after much experimentation, my dream has come true... I found a way to create filigree patterns using a crochet hook and craft wire. I called it ArtWireLace©.
My creations are unique, they are one off items. I design, crochet and shape every piece of jewellery you find on my website and on social media. I hope you like what you will see. Please honour me by purchasing my creations. You can also learn how to crochet and shape filigree patterns from wire. Thank you for stopping by... Always with love, Yulia x

How to CroShape© Wire Loops
After years of gathering stories from experts in the craft and conducting my own research, I've discovered how to master the art of creating filigree patterns from wire and make the experience enjoyable. Instead of traditional "crocheting" or "knitting," I've introduced the term "CroShaping"© to describe the ArtWireLace© technique. This involves creating crochet and knit patterns, while also shaping them with a crochet hook and awl. If you're interested in CroShaping, here are some "keys to success" to keep in mind: The right tools and materials are essential. Experienced crafters recommend using a small size iron hook and 0.3mm enamelled copper wire. Mastering the technique is crucial. While traditional yarn crochet skills are a good starting point, it's important to understand how to overcome the wire's rigidity to shape loops. Unfortunately, there aren't many tools for beginners to help with this. Practice is key. Start with a small project, such as crocheting a simple "chain," to master your skills. Then, move on to more complex patterns and shapes. Finally, try making a small piece of jewelry, like a bracelet. I wish you the best of luck in your CroShaping endeavors. Bon voyage!
Keys to Success: 1. Use quality tools and materials. 2. Master wire loops shaping skills. 3. Start with a small project.
Yulia VA Story "The Art to CroShape Wire"
Dear World!
Can you accept me if I'm silent and invisible. Can you find me if Im hiding? Can you welcome me even I'm not invited? Can you see me in my creations? Can you recognise me in the loops I shape and distinctive patterns I crochet? Can you hear the stories behind my collections?
I want to be seen and heard and be equal and unique.
I want to accept and be accepted.
Collection "Sisters Garden".
Her name was Asya. She left me. Was it her choice, I don't know. What's I know that there is always a choice. I make mine. I crochet and shape loops, combine them together in flowers for our garden, Sisters Garden - the garden of Choice.
Collection "Dissected Heart"
I see my life as a chain of challenges. Why are we challenged? Most likely to learn, to understand, to move on with dignity and be a better person. Life challenged me many times, to "no return" points, to the darkness. But there was always the way out. If there is the way in than there will be the way out. This collection is the reflection of the real life story about "Suffocated...Bleeding...Broken...Dissected...Heart"
Collection "Vibes in the Box"
I think that we communicate our feelings through VIBES, invisible waves we unconsciously generate reflecting the world around us. I believe that every part of nature have material and spiritual components. We are learning to understand material one but not spiritual. And as always, if we don't understand, we just say that it's does not exist.
Let's not forget that "we don't know what's we don't know".
I CroShape my vibes and capture them in a box for you to see... Can you feel them?
Collection "Patterns"
Loop is the basis of my craft. I call it my "research subject". It's can be crocheted, knited or twisted from metal as copper, silver, gold, aluminium, steel from 0.2 to 0.7mm in diameter. By structure, Loop can be "closed", for eg. crocheted loop or "opened", eg. knitted loop. I shape every loop using my own destinctive methods. Loops are letters in my Craft Alphabet. I combine loops in stitches - syllabels, stitches in patterns - words and sentences to tell my stories, "Stories in Wire".
