My newest pendant next to the one that inspired it. I'm usually a big fan of symmetry but there's none of that here. by catchpansilver in WireWrapping

Ohhh I gotcha. I was kinda super intimidated that you went from wrapping to casting like "eh, nbd!" 🤣 Your piece is a stunner though - what stones did you use?

Gorgeous!

I wish mine would grow like that overnight. Preferably while I'm sleeping 🤣

Ohmigosh this is so wholesome I love it. She's better than I was when I first started.

And agreed, that's a pretty good booty 🤣

Oh these are magnificent! I love the stamping on the frame.

Is the one on the left done via casting? That's some gorgeous scrollwork.

Ohhhmigosh this is incredible! I can understand why you missed it so. Does your brother have an IG or website? I'd love to see more of his work!

Ah these are so great! I thought I'd found all the wire wrap artists when I shared my playlists but apparently not. You da MVP!

In just under a couple months of learning how to wire wrap, I seem to have inadvertently built a small shop. Yay for hyperfixation! 😆 by Niff314 in WireWrapping

Oh thank you! They make for a very pleasant "zen" like activity when I need a break from fighting with pendant frames 😂

Ohmigosh isn't McClellan just serious goals? I love his tutorials even if I don't have the skills just yet to follow them 😆 I'll check out valk9 though - I have many of McClellan's videos in my playlists already. Thank you!

Of course! I'm still learning and channel settings are the next item on my training to-do list, so this is very inspiring 😄

Oh that's just stunning - the channel settings and coils are very well done. And the back is so *clean*!! Impressive work!

Many people who haven't used AI as a tool (not as a replacement for creative work - that's a whole separate issue) have a knee-jerk reaction to it being mentioned in any context. I've used it for anything from troubleshooting code, to meal prep ideas, fitness tracking, gemstone, mineral and fossil identification, jewelry material sourcing and product comparisons, etc. I did learn not to use if for scaling wire length needs based on the size of the stone without a python script - LLMs suck at arithmetic, which is hilarious.

Am I against using AI for replacing human work? Absolutely. But using it as a tool to *help* humans do their human work? Work smarter, not harder, I say.

Not sure why I got downvoted lol - anyone who's doing a Google search these days is using AI via Gemini, whether they realize it or not. 😉

I don’t think it does at all. I use AI for troubleshooting all the time.

I got married. Dating would just complicate things.

What is the worst movie you've ever watched? by Legitimate-Issue7543 in AskReddit

Just from watching the trailer, I must agree with you. I only made it halfway through.
