Think for me it would be much closer to 13 or 14 hours but then I don't do a lot of intricate wire work. As they say "practice makes perfect" and lots of practice also makes things easier to do (and faster).Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-1093841082071480672011-03-24T20:19:12.254-04:002011-03-24T20:19:12.254-04:00Very cool stuff - never considered this but I like...Very cool stuff - never considered this but I like the end results!BetteJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650981249204116251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-41505138260262036242011-03-23T12:11:48.212-04:002011-03-23T12:11:48.212-04:00Yes, it is tricky with so many wire ends to deal w...Yes, it is tricky with so many wire ends to deal with. There are a few ways :<br /><br />1. Fold over all the wires neatly and trim. Then wrap the whole area to hide the ends. You can leave it as it is for a bangle. The first tutorial is great because the edging helps in forming a clasp attachment if you prefer one.<br /><br />2. Do some fancy wire scrolls with each of the wires and integrate them into the design.<br /><br />3. Create specialized clasp ends or end overs from metal clay themselves. Not sure if there are ready made clasp ends for this application available.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />PearlThe Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-44489550496053691342011-03-23T11:16:25.123-04:002011-03-23T11:16:25.123-04:00Great article Pearl.
