The best thing about posting photos is you get to see the small imperfections and fix them. Like making the bindings center and even .
I find it hard to see them when they are in my hand. I photo everything in micro .

How did you like working with the copper? I really like it. Too true about close up pictures. I usually overlook my flaws until I see them in a close up picture. Doh!

If so,do you form the wire yourself-and how?? I think it's very interesting how some people wrap stones..I like your way,on these...Thumbs up

This copper came in round form .

I have gotten copper in square and 1/2 round but it was hard to find and I don't remember where I got it.

I have gotten a bunch of square and half round copper from wire sculpture but also have a large spool of copper square wire I got from rio in 20 gauge.

I like the look of copper. My favorites are #s 2, 5 and 7. And... true, true, what you say about photographs. That is how I often find that my cabs still have scratches.
