Celtic Butterfly Pendant

1. 1
   Begin by making a small circle and then rolling it.
   
2. 2
   Make a small point and another spiral around the first circle.
   
3. 3
   Form a loop to mark the tip of the wing, and curve the wire back down along an invisible representation of what would be a spine for the butterfly.
   
4. 4
   Make another loop. For the next part, you'll have wire spirals intersecting each other so it'll be tricky (to some degree..).
   
5. 5
   Bring the wire up and under a spiral.
   
6. 6
   Then bring the wire back down. (see the intersection?)
   
7. 7
   Make another loop.
   
8. 8
   Bring the wire down in a curve to outline the bottom section of the wing.
   
9. 9
   After making a loop to mark the top of the wing's bottom half, cut the wire short (leave about an inch).
   
10. 10
    Tuck the cut edge as shown so that yet again, two spirals intersect.
    
11. 11
    Curl the cut end into a circle before making a spiral that's similar to the one in the top part of the wing.
    One half of the wing done!
    
    
    
    
    
12. 12
    For this wing, the steps are basically the same EXCEPT that you want this to be a mirror image; thus, the wire overlaps must be in the correct orientation.
    For this picture, notice which wire is on top of which in the upper loop of the wing.
    
13. 13
    For this picture, notice which wire is on top of which for that loop.
    
14. 14
    Tuck the wire on top of the spiral instead of behind this time.
    
15. 15
    For this picture, notice which wire is on top of which for this loop.
    
16. 16
    For this picture, notice which wire is on top of which in the bottom loop of the wing.
    
17. 17
    For this picture, notice which wire is on top of which in the loops intersection.
    
18. 18
    Now you have true mirror images in that even the overlapping parts are correct!
    
19. 19
    Use your wire to form a simple antenna (spirals at each end of the wire) and body. Then grab thinner wire to connect the wings to the body.
    
20. 20
    Your pendant is finally complete, but you still need to add a jump ring and chain..
    
21. 21
    String one of the top loops through a jump ring and then add a necklace chain to complete your pendant. You're now done (and hopefully pleased with the result)!
