How I got started!

Ever since I was little I've loved to make things, and I got into beadcraft several years ago. My favourite things to make back then were animals such as butterflies out of wire and rocaille beads. As time went on I moved away from beadcraft, and earlier this year I was inspired to try wire wrapping by this artist's jewellery: http://nambroth.deviantart.com/.
I bought all the equipment and stuff and once my GCSE exams were over I made my first few pendants.

I was very proud of the first one I made. I used a piece of tumbled moonstone which was almost perfectly rectangular in shape, which made it easy to wrap for a beginner:

Looking back now it seems very messy and disorganised, but I was extremely pleased with it at the time.

This is the second pendant I made, this time with sodalite:

I was less pleased with this one, but it definitely helped me to improve my technique for some of my later creations, which I shall be posting in due course.
