What was your inspiration?

I am intrigued by wire-wrapping. I love angels. The two seemed to blend into each other.

What are you most proud of?

I always get a sense of accomplishment when I finish a project.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be patient, be persistent, be forgiving of yourself if you make a twist or turn that's different. Angels are like us. They are all different. It is like that with jewelry. It is the uniqueness that draws people to your design. Keep trying.

Really love your style of wrapping here. I've only had one class in wrapping, but it was very big on top, I very much like your more 'tailored' wrapping style! Thank you!

No matter how many classes you take, you are learning someone else's style. You will develope your own stlye. Good luck.. You can see other styes of wire wrapping on my web site : theangellady.biz Go to the angel store and select wire wrapped angels on the left hand menu.
