It is SO HARD for me to wrap angular cabs!!! Especially in round wire. Any tips, anyone?
supposed to be a birthday gift for a friend :-) still might make some adjustments as it came out a bit too skinny

Not wire wrapping at all, but wowza, certainly the same aesthetic vibe! š Art Nouveau Bentwood and Wicker Armchair, 1910, by Clement Gelly & Cie.
I am pretty new to wire wrapping and I have 3 cats. Iām trying so hard to not have them get into it. I cut my wires on my back porch but my thin gauge wire 26 to 28 just comes right off the spool as soon as I open it. Is there a way to keep the wire on the spool or tricks or hints for those who have animals?
Is my style of design something that has any demand? I like to make jewlery but I enjoy making simpler designs and wanted to know if I had a shot at selling
Im so proud of this one !! I
Tried to replicate an Angus Young Gibson SG with my wires. Not exact by any means, but I did put the effort in.

I can't oxidize because of the gems lepidolite, but I'm okay with that.. i love how this turned out.
Hi r/wirewrapping! Each Friday (that I remember to), I'm going to post a discussion post and pin it to the top of the page. Each post will have a different prompt or question related to wire wrapping, meant to generate discussion and help us bounce ideas and thoughts and stories off each other. I have a list of questions and topics saved up, but if you have any ideas that you'd like to see as the weekly discussion post, message them to me and I will get it added to the list! Ā
This weeks topic is: How do you organize your wire? Ā
I keep it pretty simple. Got a folder organizer thing from goodwill for a couple bucks, and keep it all sorted out in there. Anything that comes on a plastic spool gets sorted by wire shape (round, half round, square). Anything that's too big to be spooled gets sorted by wire size. https://imgur.com/a/PFYOfVH
Still just a beginner but Iām proud of this one!
