I can bead and do some wire wrapping. However, I have two goals:


1. make my own charms (flat).
The book "All Wired Up" (here's the URL to Amazon or you can search
book title in Amazon)

shows an example.

I **don't** want to make the wire scrolling but be able to create my
own funky letter charms similar to the fonts used on the cover of the
book [or even find a place that sells some funky ones]

Do I need to be a metalsmith to do this?

No, you need to be a wax-head and find a caster, IF I'm understanding
you right...

2. 'wire name jewelry writing' as it's referred to on a 6 DVD How To
set on Ebay. To see what I'm talking about, you can go to Ebay and
search for item 110137908493. Unfortunately. that's way out of my
price range - I don't do gold anyway, just silver, but I'd like to be
able to personalize pendants. Anyone know of another option besides
spending the $125? Is this difficult or easy? I'm pretty patient...

Thanks.

I REALLY don't understand what you're asking here.
Do you want to do wire-wrap-type lettering?
Get some rosary pliers and some silver wire and just do it!
