Hi everyone. I need your opinion. I just decided to try Wire Sculpture a couple of nights ago and this is what I came up with. It's so much easier and faster than Wire Wrap.
I need to know if you think these are good enough to list on Ebay.

Sorry, I haven't had much time to post lately but I always come in and read. I think I have created a Monster. This was supposed to be a hobby, but since I opened my Ebay store, all I have time to do is make Cabs, which I love! I have sold more than 90 since I opened Store two months ago and 30 in just the last 4 days. Anyone who has product to sell really should check into it.

Thanks everyone for the comments. My screen name is trish. Yes, I had to have directions. My fingers just don't do well on the hard wire. My wire wraps suck. I ordered Preston Ruthers Video He uses dead soft wire and it's so much easier to use. I set down and watched it once, made three the first night and three the second. The second night was so much easier. Now I just need to learn to vary my designs.

You use soft wire and make all the turns by hand. You don't have to do all those small wraps and try to keep them straight. Trish
