I still consider myself quite the ‘newbie’. I have been trying to branch out with the kind of metal I use with wire-wrapping.
I started with copper then gradually progressed to fine silver. I finally got the courage to use 14K yellow gold filled wire in a piece.
Since then, I’ve pushed myself further. My wife loves 14K rose gold, so I ordered 14K rose gold filled wire. I also have experimented with dichroic & silver foil glass as well.
Here are a few pieces that although far from perfect, I'm very Happy with while attempting the design!
