I am using Parawire. It really helped the results when they started selling half round. Constructive criticism is most welcome. Green Moss Kaleidoscope (please excuse the dust) Unknown Sodalite Rhodonite One good criticism is worth ten attaboys. Thanks for lookin'

That's practice? Can't wait to see what you do when you stop practicing and wrap for real. Great job!

I don't have any criticism, that's some beautiful work! ...... I can offer one tip though...... when you do the swirls, you'll notice a flat spot (about 1/8th inch) at the end of the loop. This can be remedied by cutting the end off when you're half-way through making the loop, then finish the bend. This way it's round, all the way to the tip. Other than that, your wraps are tight, the swirls flow perfectly, and nothing is over-done. Awesome job!!

I think they look beautiful. Wish I could do that, practice or not, they are very pretty.

I have to agree, these look great. Thanks also to Randy for explaining how to loose the flat spot in the swirlies.

You did a great job on all of them. I like the first one the best nice colors in the cab and nice tight wraps with good swirls. It looks like the bail wrap on the Sodalite is a little loose maybe making the wrap longer, would tighten up the whole thing (does that make sense?). I find that wrapping the wire closer to the stone at the top seems to make the stone more secure. You did do that with the unknown one. Although that's just my :2cents:
