No woods nearby unfortunately but I am going rockhounding in the desert so that will make me feel better. Thanks for the advice. No desert nearby for me, but if I had one & the abundance of rocks AZ has, I'd be out there with you, in a heartbeat.
Have fun
Patty

Hey all, I forced myself to sit at my desk and get a wire wrap done. I hope I did the cab justice but know that it's been a while (like maybe a year) since I did a wire wrap. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the cab before I wrapped it so it's definitely going to be a mystery until Amyk gets it. I added a cab of Burro Creek Purple Agate and took out a Sardonyx. I'm in the process of trying to reduce my cab stash although there are a few more cabs in the box that were really tempting me. Here's the cab I put in the box:  I've send messages to amyk and Susan so hopefully the box will be on the move again soon. Thanks for your patience. Diane |

Yay! That's a pretty cab. I have too many, too.  |

There is no such thing as too many cabs. Ever.  |

I'm ready. Can't wait to see what I get to chose to wrap. I haven't wrapped for about a year also. I think I remember how. Lol

And OMG! Diane, this is gorgeous. I love it! And you must know I'm a sucker for crazy lace. And the beads are perfect with it. You outdid yourself with this one.  |

The photo of the wrap does not do it justice. The wrong lighting.

drocknut Diane- Look at you go! That didn't come out like someone who is rusty. You did a BEAUTIFUL job! Is that botryoidal druzy I see in that cab? I love the way the beads balance it. I bet you sighed a sigh of relief when you were done. That's how I felt after being at the wheels first time in forever. Nervous and exhilarated.

Having just seen that crazy lace cab in person, it's small, but your wrap looks perfectly proportioned.
The black beads made a fabulous accent, that balance the shape nicely.
Is the top matching stone a bead or a small stone, I think I see prongs ?
Guess It must be like bicycle riding- you certainly didn't forget how

Thank you. The bead at the top is the same as the ones along the bottom, black Chinese AB crystals. The top one is just slightly bigger. I wasn't sure about using the crystals but it just seemed like the cab needed an accent of some kind. Glad you liked it. |

Thank you, coming from the master of wraps that is quite the compliment. I think the cab did have a small druzy in it if I remember correctly. And yes I did breathe a sigh of relief after it was finished. I'm just glad that the wire behaved itself or I probably would have thrown the whole thing across the room in frustration...lol. |

I know that feeling, too. I have a small waste basket on the table. I've tossed a few. |

So glad you like it. I didn't know you liked crazy lace but I guess the cab did...lol. I thought it might have been too plain since I didn't do any weaving on it. Guess I didn't want to press my luck doing weaving too plus I think a weave might have overwhelmed the small cab. I look forward to seeing your wrap, bet it will be gorgeous. |
