I love the beads. Do they help hold the stone or do they make it harder to get a secure setting? Neither. They are not actually touching the stone. Although they are so close that it is hard to tell. It is more difficult to get them in there, but they do not hinder the security of the setting.

Too cold to cab. My equipment is outside. Got a lot of good stuff at Quartzite that I'm just itching to get at. So I bit the bullet and cleaned my slab saw so I can at least cut the rough. I run outside, grab the slab that fell in the oil, set it up again and run back inside before I freeze to death. At least the motor stays cool. Anywho,. At least I can wrap.. so I did this on
Thanks for lookin

Those look great. I tried it once. But it wasn't good enough to photograph. Then again I didn't have a lesson. It looks simple, but its not that easy. Congratulations on success your first time.

I got it off my lock screen. Had to reboot my phone. I don't know how it got there in the first place. I might have kept it, but it was blurry.

Oj is my favorite stone. Your piece is beautiful. My phone must know that I love it because now that wrap is on my lock screen and I can't get it off.

Very pretty. I am jealous of your prongs. I cannot get prongs to look nice. Yours are perfect.

I can't do it all in one sitting. My hands do start to cramp up. I do about 2 hours at a time. 6 hours total for this one. But sometimes my creative juices just get flowing and I can't ignore them.

Spiderman stone wrapped in copper. The most weaving I've done in one piece yet.

It better be real for the price I paid for the pieces I bought. I bought them together with the others. It works the same.

The weather is getting colder. Soon it will be too cold to cab outside. So I have been getting some ready for winter wrapping. Here are the purple ones.
