    Default Twisted bangle

    Here's how that bangle turned out that I cast the ball ends for (using Delft clay)

    How lovely. I'll bet twisting that wire was tricky. A real labour of love.

    Thank you Gemma!
    Carole: Yep twisting the wire was quite hard for me. I had to buy a bigger vice as my small one didn't have enough grip!
    Anne The wires are 3mm each and the ball ends are about 1cm diameter

    Blimey, that's 6mm you twisted. You must have massive muscles! I struggle with 4mm. Is it for a commission Nic?

    Thanks Sunny!
    Carole ~ it's a commission for a gent who likes his jewellery very solid!
    Like most makers here I look at the little twist on the right that didn't quite twist enough...
    (rather than all the twists that did, lol)
