OK ya'll. I'm starting my addiction to wrapping. I went to Hobby Lobby today and got some really cheap, and I mean really really cheap copper wire to practice with. Didnt want to ruin the expensive stuff. Dont have any yet anyway. The main wires are 20g and the binding wire is 24g. They are both so soft and so cheap it mashed really easy. And bends way to easy. Had to keep readjusting it. The binding wires kept slipping because they wouldnt tighten down. I dont think I'm gonna work with dead soft wire. It's gonna half to be half hard. So here it is... dont laugh to hard. Any critiques are welcome. I need all the help I can get. . . . . . . . . back Thanks for looking. ~~Mitzi~~

I really like it! (+ you get extra points for showin' what I also wanna see!)
thing is with copper wire, it,s much softer than dead soft silver wire - give em both a try if you can to see - your hands are your friends, if you can use those to bend the wire - keeps the marks off the wire
but great start! it's very addictive

That is a very clean and nice looking first wrap. Don't hesitate get some DS gold filled or silver and go for it.

OK, you've practiced and it seems pretty obvious you won't ruin the good wire. WTG!

Welcome to the world of wirewrapping. That looks great. Seriously, the copper wire looks great with the picture jasper. It has a nice simplicity and your wraps are clean and neat. Looking at it it's easy to see you have the talent and skills for wrapping. Welcome to the addiction ;D Steve
