Encouraged by your comment this was your first wire wrapping project. Love the "long and short stitches" effect caused by wrapping one wire then two. Definitely a must try and economical with just one crystal drop in it.

I just spoke to the artist who originally designed this piece. Olga is so nice and very helpful. She gave me the link to her tutorial and I've posted it in the "Make this pattern" section of this listing.
