I am not a fan of home depot. Mostly because I have never, not once, found what I was looking for in one of their stores. Often I leave with nothing, although sometimes I will get an item just for the sake of getting an item. However, while looking into wire wrapping and finding more materials to wrap with I read that many people purchase wire at home supply stores. I checked online and it turns out they stock copper and steel wire in the gauges I use. Boyfriend and I went to the store and... couldn't find it. Had to order my wire online. Pain in the ASS.
Anyway, I ended up with some affordable copper wire, which I have been playing with. I like the contrast it gives to my orthoceras fossils and it looks very pretty on rose quartz. I made a few pendants and am feeling very proud of myself. I find myself wishing I had also purchased a thinner wire, so I could try using it to wrap my feathers. I'm also thinking about trying out some of the steel wire next time around.
coming soon... how to make a peacock feather barrette!
