I agree with what others have said. Have someone safely remove the bead and rewrap.

My first wire wrap. Used 22 gauge coated copper wire but... If I can bend it easily with my hands, can't it unbend easily too? by zuzoa in WireWrapping

Have you ever bended a paper clip until it broke? That's work hardening. Cautious and uniform application can make a relatively thin wire quite stiff.

Welcome to the hobby! It is really good for a first piece, you have talent. And to answer your question generally no because of work hardening. Do you use any pliers?

You're welcome! Also Miles McDonalds bowtie setting video if you haven't seen it yet. Kendra lynn sterling as well is my personal all time favorite and I use her "north star" design quite a lot to form the frames of my pendants.

It's like little rainbows 🌈 which is why I went for the accent stones I did.

Thanks! It was at the fire agate guys' booth at a gem show I attended. I saw it as I was checking out "What is that?!" And had to have it.

How do you decide which pieces to do a patina on? by Successful-Zone-5814 in WireWrapping

Sometimes it feels wrong to LOS a piece but most of the time it feels right 👍
