Hi:

    For those out there who work with very fine wire, I have a question.
    I have been making a certain style earring...pictured at the bottom
    of the page in the Orchid gallery 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/starbard.htm 

    Up until now, I have stitched these with needle and thread. I would
    like to make my own ear wire for the and make them out of fine wire.
    I tried 28g, but it wasn't thin enough. The quantities to purchase
    finer wire are quite high...what will I do with 96 feet of wire? Can
    someone make a suggestion as to what g. wire will work for me so I
    don't have to do a lot of trial and error with 96 foot minimums? 

Thanks
Kim Starbard
