I tend to work on instinct, sometimes it will come out great others not so great, but lately with my wire work, i have to have a basic idea of my end result because i dont want to waise anything. i like to use every bit i have. Usualy ill draw it out on paper or just draw it through my head. They dont always end up the way i planned but i think its better that way. If there is one thing i love about jewelry making, its th end result and i love surprises ^^
