Title: Baby steps
Post by: Kaljaia on September 28, 2015, 01:22:52 PM

More like sketches in wire- this is still a very new medium to me. I'm making a little progress with it.

Heavy gauge copper wire on a tumbled Oregon rock, slightly better jewelry copper wire on a a tumbled rock from a sand pit (native-transported flake from who knows where), and silver earring posts + silver jewelry wire, some jump rings and chain on a tumbled piece of Oregon banded agate. (Not shown: the dozen or so that fell apart in process!) I'm trying. At least one is wearable and the rock is not lose! There are now tiny bits of wire all over my work table :)

Looking really good!  Just keep practicing!  Copper wire is a very good wire to learn with.  It tends to be very forgiving and you can usually unwrap a couple loops of a mistake easily enough and redo the area.

Each piece is different.  Looks like you are learning and having fun.
