New things have happened involving this project. I'm finally comfortable with making the jewelry and it's all starting to come together. Although I am not finished, I already can see the end result already. Lately I've been just trying out new methods/techniques that will make the jewelry stronger and longer lasting. I think the pace I'm going at is a bit slow, but it just gives me more time to perfect my product. Seeing the end result come to life is what's making me excited for the finished project. The thing that bothers me is how many mistakes I've made involving this project. Many materials have gone to waste because I wasn't being gentle enough. I've learned that you have to have a delicate hand when making wire wrapped jewelry because the wire is super sensitive and can break if used incorrectly. Something interesting that has happened is that I was able to use my broken wire to make a little bead ball. The image that I provided is the wire that is very similar to the one I use to create my jewelry and also shows what you need to do to make the jewelry stay in place. The picture shows the wire wrapped in a circle so that the bead won't slip out. Overall, I'm having a pleasant time with this project and despite the challenges I've faced, I've come along way from having no experience whatsoever with wire-wrapped jewelry. I'm anxious to see my end product and to know if this was a success of failure.
