FILIGRAN: Wire technique or Filigrana or Filigree is called the construction made of wires worked in a handmade way. These wires are twisted together like a tress, and often stick to a motif created on a charcoal slab. This pattern has gaps, and the whole construction looks very light. Again, the wires are stuck on a sheet of metal. Then add greens, balls, chains, handmade leaflets, or stones and whatever the artist thinks fit to complete his construction.
