Hey, Tim, you're looking pretty good there!!! That's not bad & the more you do it the easier & better you will get! I especially like the one with the beads! WTG!

Not bad at all. Don't give up. Like anything else, it takes practice. One day it will just click and everything will go smoothly. Then you will try something harder and have to practice that until it clicks. Anyway you are probably already addicted to wire wrapping like the rest of us, so you got no choice but to continue. LOL. We are our own toughest critics. Those wraps look pretty good to me for a beginner.

Just keep on going! They are looking pretty good and you are developing your own technique. It is pretty cool how you framed that peak and using beads already is fantastic! If you don't like how the swirls are turning out, try some swoops, where you take all the wires as a band across the front and swoop around to the back to tuck under the back side. Kind of looks neat when you do it. Fran

Nice wraps Tim. You have to start somewhere, and you're off to a great start.

The more you do , the less you will 'force' the wire. It all comes with time and practice. WTG

Like everyone else said you will get better as you go along. I also think the bead idea is pretty cool looking!

Ditto to all above. looks like you are coming along just fine. It certainly does take practice and determination. Overall, they are looking better and better all the time. You are making good progress!

I don't see any crap there. They are looking good and with practice you'll get them to look the way you want them to look. Remember everyone has a different style. Practice practice practice as a wise wrapper told me, is the only way to get better. You might also check out Marie's tutorial on swirls, it helped me a lot.
