kia ora from NZ ,I love your sincerity and genuine attitude in the video it helped to over come the complexity of wire wrapping especially for a first timer so thank you, I am trying to make a wire wrapped insect from another tutorial , only problem I found is that the wires gauges stated in the materials listed ( which I have purchased already ) compared with the actual wire gauges she was using during the tutorial seem to be different I hope this makes sense and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kia! Thank you so much for the kind words! I would have to look at the video you referenced to better understand but it might not be just about the gauges but about the type of wire you purchased. Every manufacturer produces wires differently. I have wires that the color peels off really easily and also the hardness varies by manufacturer even when it's the same gauge. I hope that helps a little!

Thanks for such detailed information. Which guage you would recommend for wire wrapped bracelet making...21 guage is thicker for multiple layers as i am thinking. Any ideas would be great for me to pick the right wire
@vividvisionsbymarialuisa3 ай бұрын
Hi! For the base I recommend using 18 to maintain form, and to wire wrap I use 26 or 28. If you're using bare copper I would use 24 or 26 as it is softer. It really depends on the strength of your hands. I like 28 in all colors especially gold and silver coated wire because you achieve a more refined look but I wouldn't use it with copper because it's so soft. Sterling silver is also pretty soft but a lot more expensive. If you're just starting out I recommend copper filled wire or bare copper. Hope that helps! ❤

Those shiny long beads are beetle wings! They are harvested after the beetle mates and passes away. Theyre super light weight and really fun! The paper that fell out goes to the bottom left compartment with the polymer clay beads that I made :)

Thank you so much but it's nothing compared to the people I take lessons from. You should see the amazing things they can do with wire. They are working with it constantly and they don't use copper wire which is soft and maleable. They use harder gauges in gold, silver and other colors, so I guess their hands are pretty strong! lol.
