Very pretty,and cheerful. I think blue looks nice with copper. Your wire looks like heavy gauge. How do you get such perfect wraps,using heavy gauge wire? I know copper is soft,but I find it hard to manage.
Ps. Don’t you just ADORE blue flowers? They’re so rare and special!

Hi Nancy…these were not heavy…22 gauge ballpins which you can find at Fire Mountain Gems. Very pliable and easy to work with. Thanks for your kind comments as always.
