I’ve never posted here before because I’m like you, a beginner, and I mostly just read all the great advice from Rena and the others (thank you all for your generosity). And like you I’m totally hooked on wire work, I started with bracelets too. I began this spring, so I’m a real newbie and even though Artistic Wire is expensive in my corner of Europe(and really hard to get hold of in the colours and gauges I like to work with) I’m not giving up. My goal is to be good enough to sell my pieces, preferably sooner than later. I’m in awe over your wire weaving on that first bracelet, serious weaving like that is something I haven’t tried yet. And the second one is like a fairy’s bracelet. Beautiful. I really like them a lot. Thank you for sharing your work and keep enjoying it. 🙂

These are your first attempts? Could have fooled me, they are very nice! Love the first one with the black beads and all the intricate wire workings. I’d love to see more of your work. Watch out….metal & wire working is addictive 🙂

If you’ve just started wireworking and are making pieces like these – I can’t wait to see the artistry you’re creating a year from now! I agree, wire is extremely addictive – and I’m glad to hear that the tutorials brought you here! Thank you for sharing your lovely bracelets with us! 🙂

Beautiful, wonderful art Anne. I started making jewelry with wire wrapping and haven’t stopped. Once I started pearl knotting, I got hooked on that too!
