wire bails

after making the fractured marble pendants a while back I have had so many new visitors to my blog  - thanks all you pinterest fiends ;)  over 24k views.  crazy.
when I started baking the marbles, I realized I didn't have any bails to turn them into necklaces with - whoops.  so I grabbed some wire from my stash and cranked out a few quick bails.  I thought for half a second "should I put this process in there?"  and never did because at that point I was done making them.  shoulda coulda woulda.  so, 8ish months later here is how I did them.

Your tutorial was fun. It showed that even if the bail didn't look good you don't have to toss it, just keep working with it until it looks the way you want it to. Good job and thank you for sharing.:-)

Great tutorial for bails. I love the way you showed us with the thicker wire, much to your fingers and hands dismay! Also, the fact you are a very humble woman. You showed us how to salvage the project even we have some issues. Thanks so much! Cathey D

Thank you Candice for your fun and informative tutorial. I'm new to wire jewelry and have been having a hard time making wire do what I want it to do! But you made this easy and enjoyable! Mine was an imperfect replica of yours, but I'm getting better. Thank you again, and I hope to see more tutorials about wire work.
