Freehand Rose

Graphic software can be used to freehand artwork.  I created this rose by freehand using a graphics software.  It will take some time to use the mouse to sketch.  However, create the art slowly until you get enough practice.

Jewelry Wire Wrapping

Did you know that you can use chopsticks to wrap a wire for jewelry making?  Take one of the chopsticks then wrap the wire around the chopstick to the length that you need.  Then slowly pull the wrapped wired off the chopstick.  Depending on the shape of the chopstick you used either circular or square, the wire will be of that shape.  Keep this simple tool handy for your jewelry making.
