I've shown my process in this video.
It's a fun way to tat in a free form, organic manner without any pattern, just encapsulation techniques.
I teach some encapsulation techniques in my Craftsy class, "Next Steps In Shuttle Tatting", here's my affiliate link: http://shrsl.com/qo0s
But, the wire wrapping part I do not teach, since I am only a beginner myself in that area. I recommend the following Craftsy classes for learning to work with wire (these are my affiliate links)

Oooo, beautiful! What a great pendant! You did a marvelous job on it.
Marilee, I love how you combine the hard wire and soft tatting. Great Piece.
That is so so pretty Marilee!! What an original piece!
It is wonderful to see and I did a few years of wire working and never mix it with tatting this is great idea!
Fabulous !
An absolutely stunning work of art!!! :)
Absolutely stunning! I love the bright colors with the bronze wire, fantastic combo!
Stunning is right. Amazing!
You continue to take tatting into uncharted territory! This is gorgeous and the concept is so unique! It's marvelous to follow you on your artistic journeys!
what a great idea to use this type of tatting in jewelry - very inspiring...
wow amazing idea and work !!!
Sweet! It reminds me of tatting I saw in Anna Burda magazine many years ago. Perhaps that's the inspiration you're talking of. I like the idea of combining tatting with wirework for jewelry, very effective.
Every time you show a new creation I say the same thing "This is the best and my favorite."
Gorgeous pendant!
So beautiful and creative! Definitely a unique piece. I would not have thought that wire and tatting go together so well!
That is a beautiful pendant and gorgeous design, free flowing and definitely a unique piece of jewellery
