Moon and stars necklace

[weaverbird]

I'm new to working with wire - most of my stuff is beadweaving - and they say the only way to get competent is to practice, so I made this necklace as a practice piece for making wrapped loops.

I used 24 ga dead soft copper wire, and miscellaneous cobalt glass beads I've had around for years - three different batches, none of which were enough to make anything by themselves. And it did the trick - my wrapped-loop skills, which started off pretty shaky, are much better now! *g*

You certainly did get better!

I'm glad it hangs well... sometimes those kinds of things get jumbled up on themselves. I've seen it in store-bought necklaces. And there's probably an element of that in dresses that look good on the hanger but look awful on a body.

I really enjoy hearing about why a project was successful and what choices or planning went into it.
