First Wire Bracelet

front view
I’ve been wanting to learn working with wire. I really want to make bracelets and rings.
I sat down and figured it out after lying in bed the night before.
I started with 16 gauge copper wire, hardened it, then used 24 gauge copper wire to wrap around the base.

I had one blue stone left in a container so I used that.
I was so excited about it. It’s not perfect, but I’ll keep practicing.
I’m so proud because I quit smoking on February 20th after being a smoker for nearly 30 years, and I feel like this bracelet is another accomplishment.
