I think it's very nice - I love the stone - keep the swirl - is the second one yours or Cher's - I think they're both great regardless of who did them!
Funny how we're really stringent of our own stuff! I thought someone could get a laugh on my first attempt at wrapping (goodness knows I laughed when I saw mine)

Thanks Tweetie
No they are both mine, but I got the idea for the swirl from Cher.

Looks good to me-- Hey the blurry helps hide any irregularities! at least it works for me!

I'm impressed, you're doing good. On the wires that hold the stone, use your pliers to give them a little tweak if you feel the outside wrap isn't tight enough to the stone. You'll see on some of mine where they look like they are zig-zagged ... that's why. It tightens up the wires to hold the stone more securely. Keep it up now, keep practicing, you'll just get better.

PS ... I don't mind at all. ;D

Looks fine to me.
I'm not sure what we expect of ourselves.
The first time a child sits down to write he doesn't create an epic novel.
I'm embarrassed to post my first wire wrap.
Keep going!!

Thanks for the encouragment everyone  These aren't acutally my first attempts ! I tried a while ago and then didnt bother again for ages but gave it another go at the weekend. Thanks Cher, I never thought of doing that !  Thanks for putting the pictures in Ron, I'm having trouble with that lately - it just leaves a blank space in the post ! |
