Wirework Practice
About this design:
I think it looks much better against a darker background. And I added a clasp.
Trying to work on improving my wire work. I haven't posted anything in a few weeks because my son had Covid :( . He has severe asthma so we were dreading the day, but Thank God, his breathing wasn't even affected.
Components:
Flat silver wire, 20g silver wire, 26g silver wire, 2mm blue bicone crystals/3mm clear bicone crystals, silver chain and silver lobster claw clasp.Additional Images:

kye says:I hope your son is doing well. So glad it didn’t affect his breathing. Your bracelet is so pretty. The blue bicones and silver is a wonderful combination. That wire wrapping looks tricky. Well done.

Robin nursechick says:Great job on these bracelets-they look difficult, but you aced it!.. Hope your son is recovering without any problems. My kids and grandkids have all had it this Christmas and they all had it last year at Christmas. Hope you don’t get it!

Crystal Canary says:Such tiny crystals! I think it would be hard to wire wrap something so small into a frame. You did a nice job. Hope your son is better–how scary to get Covid with his severe asthma problem.

K Ralston says:Great job on this and very pretty. I’m so glad your son is getting through this fairly easily. I know that when asthma is involved it can be serious.

nutkitten says:Thank you everybody. My son is well and his first day back at work today. He lives with me, yet I tested 3 times while he was sick and, negative, negative, negative. I 100% expected to get it too. The only thing I can think is he was vaxxed with Pfizer and I had Moderna, but who knows.
