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 ):
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!

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!

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
