knapping slow but steady - pic heavy
« on: July 08, 2009, 04:26:14 am »
i figure at the speed i knap posting every point i make as i finish them gets a bit redundant so here is my may 20th-now points minus 3 that are gravel now.












this is a simple wire wrap i picked up from a jewelers website the mahogany is my fiance's and the dacite is mine.

You are coming along,those look perty good! If you want to learn wire wrapping,go to wally world and buy you a small set of round nose and some nippers.They also have some 20 ga wire.

Those are looking nice.  I will be at wallyworld right behind you.  I need some wire.  I tried with some 18 - 20 gauge stainless welding wire.  It had too much spring to it.

Madcrow and Venisonburger to get the tutorial i used google "wire wrapped tutorial" and about the 3rd link should be to glitter glow beading, i think they are an advertised site so i didnt post the link. tons of great wire wrap tutorials for free there. i need to get some flat wound wire and try the cab wire wrap with prongs for some of the girls at work that want to buy em.
