I'm okay with the wire.. I've done the electrical in my house and I make jewelry as a hobby, so I have plenty of feel for wire. . It looks like ~18 guage copper elec wire from Home Depot in the pics, but If you have a Michaels or Joanne store near you, Jewelry wire might do better for beginners. Its much softer so it's easier to move slowly and you can bend it with your fingers. you don't have to worry about breaking the stems if you haven't worked with copper directly if you use a softer metal. You'll need a heavier gauge ( lower numbers are thicker wire/ heavier gauge. High numbers are thin wire, low gauge). I'll probably start to train mine w 14 guage jewelry wire because it's stiff enough but still softer than copper and I have it on hand.
