I have been playing with crocheting using wire. I just made this, and I am pretty proud of it. I'd like to hear any and all feedback you have.

I think that's one of the prettiest, and neatest, pieces of wire crochet I've ever seen. The gauge is so even and nice and not lumpy at all like some I've seen. You did fab!

Thank you :) You're right though, it can be quite hard on the hands. One of the first bracelets I tried with 24 gauge wire..ouch!

I used 28 guage wire, and it is a lobster claw/jump ring closure in the back.

Wow, there are so many responses :) Thank you everyone. I had been toying around with the idea of submitting it to a magazine, and I think I will, sincve I've gotten a fair bit of positive feedback here.

That's one thing I've never tried and with these old hands, I might never.

I like your necklace, though. Very pretty.
