@jeg wow these are great ideas! I haven’t done any wire wrapping, but I bought supplies for stringing with aspirations of teaching myself. I do love that style of clasp on your long strand as well. It would be about ~48 inches strung together so maybe that’s a good direction! I don’t know if I’m...
