Five years ago I thought it would be a neat idea to try and make my favourite trinket of all time (3D wire mandala). So I found myself some copper wire, beads, a set of pliers and began tinkering. 5 years later, I make these wonderful multi-purpose pieces for lovely people all over the world full-time, and I couldn't be happier.
The ingredients for making a 3D wire mandala:
122.5 inches of electroplated copper wire (gold, silver, black)
14 funky beads (8mm size)
7 pieces of banding wire (22 gauge)
A one step looper and bent-nose pliers
and a lot of patience.. XD
The next step in my small shop journey is to transition from selling on Etsy to my own website. Don't get me wrong, Etsy has been amazing for me as someone who wanted to open their own handmade shop but didn't know where to start, however, it is now time for me to spread my wings and (hopefully) fly. fingers crossed
