I have to be honest with you....
I do not believe in talent. I will tell you why.
When I started to wire wrap in 2016, I faced many many challenges with wire wrapping, and all my work ended up in the bin. But I did not give it up. I tried it again.
Then, slowly, I started to see an improvement.
Slowly, I started to like the end result of my jewelry.
Since then, going through a long and very dedicated journey, I still end up with many pieces in the bin.
Then, I show you only the ones I like the end result.
Like Einstein said, talent does not exist...it is maybe 1% talent and 99% hard work.
During the past months I was thinking a lot about how to be useful for the wire wrapping community, for every creative mind.
I am posting this new tutorial I just finished (which was destined to be on Etsy as a payable tutorial download), BUT I decided to post it here, and it will be accessible to everyone who likes challenges.
With this challenge game, I truly believe that everyone will cross the boundaries, learn and create in a fun way.
So what is the game?
Time by time I will post a new challenging tutorial and YOU have to complete it!
I ask you to complete this tutorial, then to post a picture of your result in the comments below this post until the 15th of January 2024.
Everyone who posts a picture of the result, will enter in the raffle for a 25 USD coupon code, valid to purchase any PDF download from the shop.
Everyone who posts the result for all challenges during the year 2024, will receive a surprise gift at the beginning of the next year.
What are you waiting for?
Let's start the challenge.
I can't wait to see your results....

I'm so thankful for all of you who joined this challenge. I loved to see how everyone created a version of this pendant. I inserted all your names in the "Wheel of Names" online application, and here we have a winner :D
Congratulations! This afternoon I will post a new challenge for the next 30 days. I hope you will all join!
Thank you for participating!
I really love your idea of a monthly challenge. Had to start a few times, since it is my first project, but I am incredible proud of my work this far.
I am confident that I will finish it in the next few days and am looking forward to participating in the febuary round and finish that one in time :)
Thank you for this great project, it is great fun and feels like becoming a cherished new hobby!
Outside of the fact that I am the world's worst photographer, I am pretty happy with my little ornament. I didn't make the bail either, as I will not be wearing it but hanging
Wow, so much weaving! I've finally finished and am very happy with my results. I used 22g copper and 28g silver plated copper, with copper and moonstone beads and a large glass bead as my focal. This is so different from anything I've done before! Thank you for making this tutorial available
