Thanks, kmarie, mixing things up a bit was exactly my reason for making these. Plus, I really like the look ... I haven't gotten around to buying a jig yet, but I would like to have one someday. I just bent these wires with my tools the way I wanted them. I was surprised how remarkably easy it was. Watch ... now that I've said that, I'll completely screw up the next pair.

I love my whacker, Teresa, thanks for turning me on to it. And I took your advice and used the hammer instead of my hand ... you're right, it's more fun!
