[@lauresa10]

Thank you for sharing your talent. I always learn a great tip from your videos. You are a well-spoken, articulate teacher. Thank you again.

My big problem with doing wire work like this is figuring out how much wire to use. A lot of instructions just say "take a length of wire" and that's not very helpful. Just the fact that this one mentioned using a specific length makes it so much more useful for me!

[@angieshortt1111]

I wanted to know gauge of wire

[@kimeye61]

This is so neat, what kind and weight of wire is needed? Thanks!

[@LisaPavelka]

Kim Gordon Hi Kim, it depends on what size bead you are working with and the overall effect you are looking to achieve. I work with mostly 20 gauge wire, sometimes 22. 18 gauge will give you a heavier effect, but be a bit harder to work with. Have fun and experiment! Happy creating - Lisa

[@kimeye61]

@@LisaPavelka Thanks so very much! I think I will get some 20 gauge and start playing around!
