I just finished this one, I think it turned out decent. Feedback is most definitely welcomed, I really want to get better...   |

Very nice. The wraps around the bail are tough for me. Master that and you have nailed it.

Wanna hear a little secret? Don't tell anyone, but the little accent loop on the front wasn't going to be there in the original design that I had in mind. It's hiding a nick in the wire underneath it...  |

Love the stone! This is your best yet. Wanna know a secret? Lots of wire wrappers do the exact same thing. 
I think the binding wires on the bottom got out of hand. Whenever you are working a piece and the start to the bindings (or end) start to get wonky, just keep going until it gets itself sorted then unwind the bad wraps and cut them off, slide the bindings down where you want them and continue on.

Love it! Also agree with everything Tela said. 
Bail binding wires are much better (less is more).

Thanks Robin! Does that mean I used too many? Just trying to get more input. |
