When it comes to wire wrapping, I'm all thumbs. I decided to take the time to practice. (And I had some friends who were interested in some basic wrapping that got me moving.) Nothing fancy, as I really don't have any desire to do the intricate stuff.
So...... I pulled out all my books (and bought a new one ), gathered my spools of copper wire, (and bought some more) and grabbed my tool kit.
On Friday I was gallery sitting by myself in the Graffiti Gallery with very few visitors, so it was a good time to begin practicing.
I made some basic pieces that I'm going to turn into earrings. One of the things I had to practice was making two pieces that were pretty much alike. Every time I try to hold two pieces of wire together and bend them it never works. But, I think I've pretty well figured out how to remake the second piece (with the help of a magic marker.)
I'm going to add beads to these eventually.
