Very nice. I like how the copper wire accents the copper colored part of the rock.

Good work MIke. The mood of your wire sure seems to match that of the patterns in your stone!

Mike, it is my opinion that you have already found a style which is worth repeating; and perfecting!
I like your free flowing, ribbon looking, waves of square wire wraps. I bought some square and hope to try to mimic it some time.
I think I know how it must feel to be stuck in a rut. But this happens with everything I try (exercise, cleaning the house, buying groceries ..). I could go on. After a while though I am sure that you will break through, and a inspiration for something new will suddenly pop in to your head!

To be honest, I don't think I've ever even used round wire, Julie. I started with square and have stuck with it- maybe the next time I order some I'll get round and give it a go. Which do you find easier to work with? |

To be honest, I don't think I've ever even used round wire, Julie. I started with square and have stuck with it- maybe the next time I order some I'll get round and give it a go. Which do you find easier to work with? Well, my first cab wrap is lying in a pile of crumpled round wire and my fingers are sore. I've ordered some square and half round and will let you know, but it may be a month before I can look at it again. I latched onto an artist on Instagram her name is Oxana, then I was looking on YouTube and darned if she doesn't have a bunch of tutorial videos. Check her out at OxanaCrafts on YT. I think everybody just has their favorites. If you like what you're using then by all means stick with it, your stuff looks great. If you want to play with round without buying it by the pound from Rio look here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BKXU7CQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For 16.50 you can play with a number of sizes. Oxana's tutorials feature lots of square with half round. My first inspiration is Tela (of course lol), for her simplicity of design that showcases the cab and not the wire. Between her and a few others I'm sure I'll morph into some kind of style of my own. I know I can do this it's just a matter of time and practice. Are you on IG? there's a LOT of inspiration out there! |
