Thanks so much ladies. I was just fooling around sort of bending the wire, and I liked how it looked. I was surprised that I could make a second one that was almost identical…LOL

14g, wow, that’s pretty thick bending!! I have decided that this wire stuff is going to be my OUTSIDE jewelry project. Less items to take outside and work and I can pound away much easier than in the house.

Great going! This is where it all starts ask Miss Frida who is going great guns lately with wonderful designs and wire working. Another person is fully addicted to beading and wire work.
Hooray!
