Instructions

This bracelet uses a few techniques that basically require trial and error. Bend some 16 gauge wire to a shape you like. When you acquire the shape you like, hammer for strength and rustic appeal.

thx for the instructions. so many do not give them. this is a beautiful piece that i think i would like to try, maybe in copper. did you use a mandrel to shape the wire portion of the bracelet?
