wire plus wood

Ok - I know it’s been a while since I posted. I didn’t really have anything to post, believe it or not. But, I did spend a little time making this gift for someone (who hopefully isn’t reading this). I think turned out rather well (wire can be fussy!).

I used 16 gauge galvanized wire and a little block of painted wood. I designed it this particular way - with the loops all around the outside and the spiral in the middle, for two reasons… Drop (wire back) style earrings can be hung on the outer loops and photos and cards can be held by the loops as well as by the spiral.

Coming up… we made salt dough ornaments with the kids. It was a lot of fun and surprisingly easy. I’ll post soon about that.

Question: Do you get stressed or do you go with the flow?

I think it’s rather funny that many people see me as the type to go with the flow. I see myself completely opposite. My back is often tense and I tend to worry an awful lot. And, I do stress when I have too much to do. But, like everyone, I do my best to get through it.
