Title: knapping slow but steady - pic heavy
Post by: DustinDees on July 08, 2009, 04:26:14 am

You are coming along,those look perty good! If you want to learn wire wrapping,go to wally world and buy you a small set of round nose and some nippers.They also have some 20 ga wire.

Those are looking nice.  I will be at wallyworld right behind you.  I need some wire.  I tried with some 18 - 20 gauge stainless welding wire.  It had too much spring to it.

Madcrow and Venisonburger to get the tutorial i used google "wire wrapped tutorial" and about the 3rd link should be to glitter glow beading, i think they are an advertised site so i didnt post the link. tons of great wire wrap tutorials for free there. i need to get some flat wound wire and try the cab wire wrap with prongs for some of the girls at work that want to buy em.
