Drop a photo in the comments of one of your first or earliest wire-wrapped pieces. This was not my very first wire wrap, but one of my earliest documented iterations of the basket weave. Every wire artist has those early pieces. If you've been wrapping for a while, share an early piece alongside something you've made recently so we can see your evolution! And if you're brand new and just made your first piece? SHOW. IT. OFF. 🎉 No judgment. No comparing skill levels. Just artists celebrating how far we've come — and where we're headed next.

Me, im from cambridge/KW... a city thats an hour away from Toronto in Ontario, Canada... Where are you from?
