I tried this bracelet from one of the backordered WAJ magazines:

I really like the way the ends are finished, instead of folding the wire
over. Then I wanted to try it with one of my beads, but my bead wasn't
quite sqaure. It came out ok, but I'd like to try it again with a better
bead:

It was funny, going back for the 2nd class, everyone thought I was the star
student. Ha. Ha. Nope! I hated to admit that I'd taken the class before,
but then I found out lots of people do that, especially at the Holland
School, because different teachers teach different things. I'll be going
back to take Wire II again this year (2nd time).

I feel sorry for the people who think, "I just don't get it." and give up!

Yeah, I'm a great believer in taking the first class as many times as
feels
right.

Mj,

That's how I felt after my first class. I think I'm remedial. After
the
2nd wire class, I was a lot more comfortable with wire.

I think a lot of this depends on attitude and upbringing. My parents were
strict and any grade below a C was not acceptable, and most of the time, a C
wasn't acceptable. If we made below a C, we were grounded until the next
report card. I never did, but I think I sweated blood over some of those
Cs. I had a lot of trouble with Algebra and Geometry. As a result, you
didn't need Algebra II or Chemistry to graduate high school. I was so
afraid of failing, that I didn't take them. Of course, when I was in
nursing school, I wished I had!

I know my parents were from the generation that believed hard work would
solve everything, so I can't blame them. They thought if your grades
weren't good, you just weren't trying. It never occurred to them that you
just didn't get something. I guess it's taught me that if my own DD has
trouble with something, I'll get a tutor, or whatever I have to do to help
her understand it, not just pass a test.

I think once you're past 30 or so, you get a lot more relaxed too. If I try
something and fail, I can either go on or try again. Either way, it's no
big deal. AND.......... I was the WORST one in my first bead class. This
teacher looked at me all the time with that, "You are so stupid." look.
Lol. I'm glad I persevered!

Well, I guess I got a little chatty.

Well, I just don't get it, but I haven't given up yet. :-) Have
accumulated too much wire, and too many books, for one thing. But I
must confess, that wire and I are still not getting along very well...

Karin
your ring is gorgeous, as is all your work. :-)

But, oh so right. And so positive. Lots of people put importance on the
speed of learning. Learning thoroughly and with joy is what really matters.

Just hang in there! Take a class, or another class if you already have.
I'm very visual. I do a lot better if I can watch someone. When I took my
2nd class, it was like all of a sudden I "got it". Most of the things we
made, because I was a little ahead of the other beginners, I made three of.
If I didn't finish, I'd take it up to my room and finish, or finish the next
day, between pieces. I found that if I did something three times, I really
"got it".

Same here! In fact, it has been an important life lesson for me to
learn, that the first two times I do something new I'm going to
******** it up - and that's *okay*.

Great work, btw! It's been very cool to see your wirework get better
and better over the last year.

Well, I just don't get it, but I haven't given up yet. :-)

Yeah -- it will suddenly click. That's what did it for me -- perseverance.
Not that I do much wire work, at all -- but the little I do suddenly clicked
one day, even though I'd been feeling like I was losing my mind over it.

No classes around here, but maybe someday I'll find one. Thanks for the
encouragement! :-)

I can at least make S clasps reasonably proficiently at this point...
