Congratulations on the wire, I know what you mean about getting enough to buy wire. Gotta work to support our habit...lol.
You do some seriously beautiful work. I'm in awe once again. You are the president of the "swirly club"...lol.
The third one is my favorite but then again I think I'm partial to blue cabs with the silver wire.

Beatiful wraps, Marie! So did you find that working with silver wire feels any different from working with the base-metal wires?

Tom- yes a little. The sterling seems to be softer, so have to be a bit more careful, but other than that......looks exactly the same as the plated wire I was buying, and works up pretty much the same...so......But I do love the fact that I was able at least this once to buy it. This is my test phase, see if they will sell any better than the others. we'll see.
Thanks for the niceties you guys!! Appreciate it a bunch!!!

They are all so beautiful Marie:) I think I am more partial to the top two. They look like spring and give me hope that one day Spring will come again:)

Very nice wraps. At $15 - $35 a pendant you're giving away your work, IMO.

You weren't kidding about the shine on the green quartz and the orange calcite, those look like new glass!! You've become a master at cabbing and wire wrapping in a very short time, all 5 are beautiful!!  |

Your wrappings have taught me to like swirls--I love #2. I took a peek at your store--nineteen sales! I hope you do well with the sterling, you certainly deserve it.

Thanks everyone!!!! Really appreciate all the nice things you say!!
Redrock - there really is no sense to my madness....I just start swirling till it looks good to me...then I quit! No method, no rhyme, and absolutely no reason! LOL I just kinda do it!!
Thanks again everyone. Very excited about finally having pure sterling silver wire to work with!!!
