Rewards & Pitfalls of STEEL

I just finished a couple of Viking Knit items out of 28 gauge STEEL wire. Which turned out to be amazing & beautiful & shimmery & wonderful. I gotta say, I am loving the steel. I originally picked it up because of the recent astronomical price increase of silver, but quickly fell in love with for its own awesome self.

I love how there are subtle color gradations in the steel (it's really much more beautiful than the pictures show).

Also, on the steel & fine silver bracelet, I LOVE the contrast between the dark steel and the bright silver.

It's amazing what I can get done when I just say NO to the TV & internet.
