She does. She really likes the coral lol - but I think it is also "why haven't you made me something like that". There is a good answer too - when I bend wire, I get bent wire..when people here bend wire, they get jewelry That really is a nice piece! Roger

Beautiful creation! I know about Telas work and James coral but dang Scott I didn't know there was a flat world outside your spheres heehee. Outstanding all around!

Tommy, I don't make cabs. I got lucky with a cutoff from the sphere and some down time in class. Ask Tela, that cab was flawed. Her work hid my flaws. She deserves the real credit.

Roger Roger, make a cabochon and hire one of our wrappers to finish it for you. We have so many world class pros here, you can't go wrong.

She deserves the real credit. @shotgunner -- I had to put on my optivisors to see the small issues! It is a great cab for a newbie and especially for this material. The first cab that I finished with my flat lap- like 2 nights ago- had the same issues. (Working out how to hold the stick for those angles, was a chore!) So, give yourself a pat, you did good.

She Tela is a class act wrapping artisian. I am metal worker and know great stuff when I see it. Wrapping is not my forte either Vibratumble. Actually that wrap is one I have never seen ever.

That wrap definately compliments the piece. Not over the top. I like the bead selection and color. Matched up great.

That wrap is one of my originals. It's based on an old design with a new twist. It's one of my favorite wraps to do because I get to play with beads, but I can leave off the beads, too. I have a man customer who loves this wrap without the beads.

I noticed the beads changed colors. Looked to be for matching the color of the coral.
Am I close?
