    I do that with everything haha (even the kitchen cabinet that isn't quite straight and the one tile in the bathroom that is upside down), but no-one else notices.

    Fantastic piece Nic!

    With such a thick wire, I take it you needed a fair amount of heat to solder the beads onto the wire. What type of torch did you use?

    Oh, good golly, what a truly sublime piece. I simply cannot believe that you crafted that by hand, I would love to reach a point where I can physically craft silver into a wearable work of art.

    but it dident twist very well in the middle either, when you are doing a piece with this thickness wire you really need to over estimate the amount of wire you use and then cur off the ends, nice balls though Nic x

    Yes is definately a lovely bracelet Nic - well done!

    I'm very good at focusing on the inperfections in my work too...
    I've just spent the best part of an hour trying to get two leaves to look the same...

    which reminds me, they need rescuing from the tumbler...
