oh, one more question, is this meant to just slide over the hand or do you have to open it a bit to get it on then mash closed.

You put it on however it works best for you. It bends to fit. I also make them with clasps - whatever works with my mood at the time.

I use square & 1/2 round for all my wraps. the gauge depends on what I'm making. 22 ga 1/2 hard works well for these. If I'm doing something fancier (with curliques, etc.) I use dead soft. The gauge can change with the hole in the beads - pearls for instance have holes too small for 22 ga.

Lovely! I love the look of wirewrapping, and have tried it a few times. Sadly I just can't get the wire to sit neatly. I get mad and go back to my beadweaving! lol :-)

Thank you very much. Are you using square wire? It makes a world of difference. Then just practice, practice, practice. There are some very good tutorials on the internet.
