I really like your pendant, Ashley. Both the bail and the setting have very strong contrasting elements: the bail's tight silver windings have been "captured" by the loose, swirling copper wires, and your freeform "sporadic waves" that seem to have escaped from the very tight, conservative bezel wires.

I see no evidence of any mess-up, although the back of the bail looks a little busy. But so what? The end justifies the means!

Thank you!

Sure seems like a sophisticated wrap for starting out. I wouldn't know but just considering the amount of ornate work to do.

I've been a carpenter/finish guy for most of my working career and I'm building my last house ever(I'm too old now, I didn't want to do this one). We are sometimes our own worst critics. I look at my project and I can see all the mistakes, where the vast majority of people would not see anything wrong. I think what you've done is wonderful, I could only hope to do something that nice, first time out. As has been mentioned, what ever flaws you see, or think you could have done something differently, do that the next time out. You've got something pretty nice right there, run with it.

Thanks James!

I believe there are disciplined techniques to wire wrapping. An early member offered to teach me. He said his method makes it almost easy. But we have heard that story before. It appeared to be a practice-makes-perfect scenario to me !
