Fabrics

     

I Use 17 gauge wire for most of my work.  I perfer it, cause I'm able to do smaller, tighter weaves.  The 8 in 1 is an excellent example of this. 

It also costs less, $9 for a quarter mile @ Home Depot

this is a seam I used to attach a piece of 4 in 1 to itself.  I think it looks a little persian.. a bit..  either way, I like it..

the second 2 pics are the front and back of the section i put together  it's kind of hard to see on such a small piece..sorry..  cope.
