Hello, everyone! I cabbed today and wrapped those two cabs. The first one is a poppy jasper (Morgan Hill) from Steve - Rocklicker. It's pretty big and none of my girls wants it. That's OK for me! It will be my pendant. I usually tell you what I see in the patters, but this time I invite you to tell me what you see in the pattern of this cab. The second one is a cab I made for Ioana. It's a local agate with amazing transparency and it's also special because Ioana and me found it into a trip we made an year ago. back-light: Now that I saw these pics I noticed that I still have to do some final touches at the silver work. Thank you for looking, Adrian

Ah man! rockfromahardplace took my idea! - actually Noosh's avatar looks like the image too! 'cept the one in the cab has buggy eyes
great wraps - do you tumble them once wrapped?

LOL, that first pendant looks to me like a small dog or a cat that has stepped on a live electrical wire cartoon style!! You can just see the current coming off of him.
Man, you sure do a nice job on those wraps, they are so blended with the stone. Once again superb job!!

LOL, Come on guys, you have such domestic visions! But I have to accept that puppy resembles much better with the pattern than the dragon or the lion I had in my mind ;D
Thank you all.
No, Tweet, I don't tumble them. I rub the wire with a stainles steel rounded tool (in my case the handles of some pliers I have, which are very smooth) and the silver wire takes that shine. But tumbling in small steel shots would be a great idea.
