Made of 10 awg copper wire and 18 awg silver plated wire. Copper work hardened more than I thought, wish I went with 12g instead, but it does make the final result sturdier.

That's really cool, is there a tool or anything you're using, pliers/tweezer style things? Doesn't seem easy to manipulate into that kind of pattern at all.
Mostly my hands. You want to avoid using most pliers actually; they'll knick and scratch the metal. I do have teflon pliers, but they actually broke trying to bend the 10g copper :/ (though I think I fixed em woth glue).
I did still need to use some pliers to get some stubborn parts into place, and to like, fold the ends under, and then did my best to delicately file off the scuffs, but its still imperfect.
That sounds paaaaainful for your hands. It's pretty though!
