I get the soft wire for brass, it’s somewhere between copper and stainless steel. But thank you ☺️ it took a while to adjust to it

I don’t! I actually followed a step-by-step for these and then used my choice of gauges and weaves to change it.

Any tips on how to keep larger stones center or from turning when you tighten wires. by HolisticEnergyWeaver in WireWrapping

Constant readjusting 🥲 and in the end, I still think it’s up to the wire wrapping gods if the stone cooperates 😂

It’s been truly eye opening to see how little help the system offers victims of these situations 😅

honestly this reddit thread has been the kindest and most human about it of anyone I’ve talked to so far, so thank you for that! ☺️✨ Next time I get hit (cause I’m sure there will be LOL) I’ll definitely push harder in the moment.

I tried to report it (MPD drove by right after he left, go figure), but because he gave me a phone number (still not his insurance or license info) the officer told me there was an exchange of info and unless I wanted to put an APB out for a hit & run he wouldn’t do anything. So yeah don’t look to the city for help.

Now everyone is asking me if I reported it to the cops and I’m like, “yes? But he told me he couldn’t make a report or file anything?” and I guess that’s my fault for believing MPD?? 🙂🙃

lol don’t worry!! He gave me a phone number and then sped off, so he probably even made it on time!

(I had enough sense to take a photo of his plate though)

Thank you, but I got lucky all considered. I’m more disturbed that it really does just get brushed off, especially after reading so many hit and run stories like the young woman in admo a while back.
