I TRIED to put one together kind of like this, but failed miserably! This is a neat pattern-you can embellish any number of ways to get unique designs. Way to go!

It would be so COOL. ;DS

rose the pattern is in the moods in wire book but you should be able to look at my pic and see exactly how it is done. you can vary how many wires you use, whether you put a bead in the center, mix twisted and square wire, change the metals up to gold and silver or copper and brass. they used 4" for the cross wire and 2" for the binding wires. i think i used 3" for the cross. oh and with the bead you need an odd number of wires (3, 5, 7) but if you aren't using a bead it can be an even number of wires (4, 6, 8).
