Just hang in there! Take a class, or another class if you already have. I'm very visual. I do a lot better if I can watch someone. When I took my
2nd class, it was like all of a sudden I "got it". Most of the things we made, because I was a little ahead of the other beginners, I made three of. If I didn't finish, I'd take it up to my room and finish, or finish the next day, between pieces. I found that if I did something three times, I really "got it".some new wire bracelets

Same here! In fact, it has been an important life lesson for me to learn, that the first two times I do something new I'm going to bollocks it up - and that's *okay*.
Great work, btw! It's been very cool to see your wirework get better and better over the last year.

Yeah -- it will suddenly click. That's what did it for me -- perseverance. Not that I do much wire work, at all -- but the little I do suddenly clicked one day, even though I'd been feeling like I was losing my mind over it. ~~ Sooz
