HELP! Wire broke on me, how do I fix this?

I am very new to wire wrapping and as you can see one of my main wires broke. Is there ANY way I can fix this? Or does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to continue this piece? This is my first pendant and I’ve been so proud of how it has turned out. I’m going to be very very sad if I can’t do something to save this project ):

Do you think I used the right gauge for this bracelet?

These are 10mm beads and I used 26 gauge wire. Didn’t want it too heavy but I feel like it’s a little unbalanced. Thanks for your feedback!

Oxidizing copper

Hi! I just realized I've been skipping a step after using liver of sulphur I just go straight to water and soap and I haven't been doing the baking soda. Is it too late? What is the best way to make your pieces look super shiny. I bought some polishing pads but just wondering if there's a way to seal your pieces to make the shinyness last longer. Please help, and thank you!

My First Akatsuki design

I've seen other artists do this design and wanted to give it a shot for myself. It was a very fun and challenging build, but I'm actually loving this. Can't wait to try it again in silver

First time trying something a bit more complex. Could've gone better but I'm happy with it.
