Wire crafting is hard!

I am still working on the gift for my fiance using the cut of wood.  Our initials are 'L' and 'J', and on a Vegas trip early in our relationship I found the coolest stamp that has a J and an L woven together.  Since then that has become our trademark :)  I draw it on every card I give him.
So, I decided to try to craft it with of bronze colored craft wire to add to the wood piece.
This is proving more difficult than I anticipated!  I am still tweaking it to get straight edges but here are a few pictures of what I have so far.
