I might be able to do this eventually. This is "kiddie wire" from a little jig kit I got a long time ago. This time I actually followed some simple instructions I had printed out from a newsletter way back when, and I know the end coils need work (I have, in fact, already fixed them after looking at the pic) and it needs to be on a long chain (you know I love those big ol gawdy honkers) but it's a step in the right direction. Maybe 20 or 30 more of these and I'll move up to sterling wire. Maybe  It's Flint ridge Flint, btw.  cookie |

I think Cookie pulled a fast one, the first one she had up was actually one she had done when she was 15 or so and this one is the real thing! Excellent job Cookie - I really like - What a difference between the two |

Looks great, you are getting the hang of the wire wrapping.
Don't worry about using the wire you got in your wig jig. I sometimes use that to keep the price down on the wire wrappings I sell.

Guys, I did them both on the same day! The first time I was trying to be "artistic" and just winging it, the second one (you men folk should heed this advise) I followed the directions. If I hadn't lost page 2 of 5, it might be evem better And damed if I'm showing the back:D cookie |
