I just need a corset and a few other things to make it complete. Then I want to make a headdress with stag horns/faux ram horns, leaves, berries....etc. Sorta like this:
I've got so many patterns! I bet I have at least three corset/bodice patterns laying about right now.

I am in the middle of doing it.
That could work quite well. Why didn't I think of doing fairy wings like that before? We should even have some of the materials at home, since we got stuff for that many years ago from a relative who use to do flowers in that technique.
Ooh. That sounds really fancy. And you should definitely try to make a headdress like that.
But if you have so many patterns why not just look at them pick out the one that is the easiest to do and start making a corset from it. You don't even have to use a nice fabric for it, just one that is similar to the one you want to use, only to try it out and see if you need to change some things and basically just get the hang of it.

It's never easy the first time you do it. I used to fool around with copper wires when I was younger, so I got some training from that. I guess that's why mine didn't look like a big failure the first time I tried to do proper wirewrapping.
The tips I can give you is try again and again and again until you get it, or rethink your design if you figure out that the one you want won't work with that stone, and lastly have good tools.
Here is also the tutorials I read when I made my jewelry:
1. Freeform Wrap Tutorial by ~tanyquil on deviantART
2.The Jeweller's Guide to Baisic Wire Wrapping by ~pixie-trick on deviantART
3. Intro to Fine Wire Wrapping by ~innerdiameter on deviantART
I hope they can help a little.
