Different Wires

The gauge of wire I use depends on the size of the project.  Obviously, the larger the project, the thicker the gauge--both so that it's more visible, and so that it holds its shape better.  I use 20 gauge wire for most of my projects, but I like to experiment with different wires and thicknesses.  I did this name in both stainless and copper.  And the second picture is of several unique names that I did for someone at the scrapbooking show that takes place at the South Town Expo Center in Sandy.  

A lot of people ask how I do the lettering, so my next posts will go over the alphabet...
