Thank you.<br /><br />I don't know if I know any secrets to making a simple loop, but the secret to making a really good wire wrapped loop is a bit of extra wire to use as you form. My problem is I am too darn cheap and I don't want to make scrap.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-74497039490180203872013-01-17T06:50:12.712-05:002013-01-17T06:50:12.712-05:00I'm tickled too!

Thanks for sharing your earrings and review of Nicole's pattern. You may see all the flaws - I'm just impressed by how professional they look for a first product.

I think you did a fantastic job and to my untrained eyes I do not see any flaws or nicks. Your idea to use the design for a bar and toggle clasp is a great one - they would make lovely clasps.Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-41612799207176674242013-01-07T07:57:31.280-05:002013-01-07T07:57:31.280-05:00Thank you.

I am amazed that it was not as difficult as anticipated. <br /><br />My bigger issue with woven wire work is that I do not have the vision to create; that could be due to lack of experience.

Nicole is very friendly and if you write to her I am sure she could help you figure out if the effort might just work. She has a contact button on her website.KJhttp://kjsbeadaciousbeads.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850328826819903057.post-83612501681425127642013-01-07T07:43:30.874-05:002013-01-07T07:43:30.874-05:00Wow~these are beautiful!
