Getting Out of My Comfort Zone

I still consider myself quite the ‘newbie’. I have been trying to branch out with the kind of metal I use with wire-wrapping.

How we as people can create such beautiful and awe inspiring jewelry from what nature and the almighty has provided, which can take us away to far away lands, times or places of fantasy and mirth. So, I came up with a little poetry to express my thoughts. An Ode to Wire Wrapping Wire is my only true...
