Hi Ive just finished these hearts this week 1.5 mm square wire 1mm loop for 0.8 ear wire 1 -  2 - another view on a darker background brings out the colour of the SW'ki bead  3 - This was the first exercise in 1.5mm twisted wire looks easy but is difficult to get everything ballanced out, (I actually tempory wired the ends together to get it ballanced)  Thanks for looking Comments much appreciated Jack Yorkshire uk |

Thanks for the comments
At the night class It was a twisted wire exercise first (pic 3 ) then we could make what ever we wanted I had made hearts out of square 1.5 wire before but not twisted.
Charlie
I made the heart in 2 parts which allows you to get a good soldered joint and balance the heart shape, once soldered (and anealed ) then it is easy to do the final shape adjustment
The bead gives a bit of colour + movement,
