I had so much funny Making Connie's name
I decided to make more names, I tried out another wire this time that I got a while ago to make coils. Its a smaller gauge cooper wire (but doesn't say the exact gauge) but much much much easier to work with, Hence the more intricate turns.
I found that as long as I made the letter tighter the words were less flimsy and they don't change shape.
I think I'll have to give the 16 gauge wire a rest.. I'm getting a blister from bending ><.
Here are the new names I have made: Hope you like it!

Update on last post
So for Connie's name I wasn't too happy with the nicks in the silver coating from my pliers.
I sanded it down with sandpaper and glazed it to create this Vintage Cooper look

That "Mary" one would look so cute as a logo piece stitched onto my bag. You should start selling your jewelry on http://www.etsy.com/!
