Francine: Do you or others give me the alloy to prepare the wires of
silver, because we are traying to make with pure silver or 98% silver
but the wires cut and obvilously do harder. Adriana

HI Adriana, Sorry I can’t help you there because I don’t do this kind
of work myself (I work with metal and paper), but if you look in the
archives about wire, wirework, crochet, weaving, knitting, you will
probably find a lot of Also hopefully, some other Orchid
lace makers working with wire, out there, might be kind enough to help
and answer your message.
