Update: here's the fixed pictures! Yay!!!! It was my memory card, for some reason it was saving everything funky, switched it and tada!!! Not perfect, but MUCH better at least.

Another tutorial, this one by Iza Malczk again-(IzaMalczyk.etsy.com). Again, I had to change it before I even tried it-I can't just make cookie cutter stuff, even when I don't know what I'm doing and should be following the directions! I used twisted wire for the armature, and balled up the ends; the tute calls for plain wire and loops on the ends of the arms. I also wired on the center bead, rather than sliding it onto the central wire, because I was dead set on using this gorgeous garnet, and it wouldn't fit over the central wire. Then I cxidized the whole thing to make the texture really show up. I'm pleased with it for a first attempt, but can already see changes I want to make.
