...she said sheepishly after making several dozen head and eye pins and hardening them and then attempting to use them to attach crystals to a silver bracelet, first looping and then wrapping. It's the wrapping part that clued me in. Better to use dead-soft silver, make your pins, and set them aside specifically for those beads where you need to loop around a link and then wrap. It's much easier using dead soft because the wrapping hardens the wire.
Duh.
Don't try to imagine. Don't try to create. Simply do it. Just pick up something and start. Don't agonize over perfection; don't worry about it being "good." Remember: You can always start over. Create. Put YOU in the world.
