i wanted to say thank u very much. i’ve recently started wire wrapping, i’m having a lot of fun, but not too sure how to do some of the basics. watching ur tutorial is was AWESOME!!!!!!! i have been doing art for over 20 yrs and i have never felt the need to charge people to explain or teach anyone how to do anything. i enjoy it and if someone else wants to enjoy it why make them pay? so it was a refreshing pleasure to come across ur FREE tutorial.
u r truly gifted and talented and have many amazingly beautiful pieces.
thank u again for sharing!
have a great day!

The dead soft is very hard to work with. We only use it when we are making complicated wraps, and need to be able to do a lot of bending before the wire work hardens. For what you are doing, the half-hard is just right.

Hi Steve,
I am new to wire wrapping in 14K gold. As a special gift, I am making earrings by wire wrapping two 1 1/2″ long briolette crystal tear drops. I might add smaller crystal 4mm bicone drops to hang off the wrapped loop. Should I use dead soft or half hard 20g for the briolette and the same for 24g wire for smaller beads?
Thanks,
Carolyn Schaefer

Hi Marion,
Yes, the copper wire will tarnish over time, just like a penny. It shines up nicely with a little polish.

I just received your DVD and the basic tool kit with the copper practice wire. I haven’t had a chance to do anything with it yet. Do the copper practice wire tarnish?

Hi Gina,

We have 18 gauge round wire in dead soft. All of our other wire is half hard. We have 20 gauge Half Round, 18 gauge half round and 21 gauge square wire. It all comes coiled in the same radius I get from the foundry, about 7 inch diameter coils.
