Experimenting With The Medium

I have taken two classes, added some supplies, found some stones, and now there's only one (technically two) thing left...practice and experimentation.  So that's what I did this evening after the kids went to bed.

This is tonight's experiment.  I used cheap craft wire from my inventory with no more marking than "Made in Taiwan" and "24 gauge".  I have no idea what it is made of (clearly not sterling silver or it would be badly tarnished by now) or what its hardness grade is, but it was sufficient for a practice piece.  I learned a couple of things (like how to twist the wire so that the twist is consistent and even) and may pull it apart and try again with good silver the next time.  I'd like to experiment with black wire as well.  That could be fun.

But for now, this is what I came up with.
