I'd like to share what I think are my best wraps so far. I've done about 10-15.
1) I think this is rain-forest rhyolite (jasper)
2) Biggs jasper
Thanks for taking a look

Great job! I like how you added that prong. These look really nice especially for a newbie. They are nice and tight- which I always like to see. The bindings are even, too.  |

Those are really awesome! The first one looks like it would be harder to wrap given the shape but you nailed it. Love the biggs! |

Both are nice--great stones, great wraps for the stones, good balance, and tight. I'm partial to the first--I like the subtle bend on the left since it accents the stone's curve so nicely and the prong at the bottom (rather than binding) is perfect!

Wow! For someone just starting out, you did good. Excellent job on both of them. thank you hummingbirdstones. I have a long way to go before trying the precious metals. I also want to try oxidizing the copper wire. I will soon try an intermediate level wrap and see how it goes. |

Thank you the great critique, susand24224. I needed that. I didn't know if I needed to secure the top of the first one or how I would do it, so I just gave it a little bend. |

Nice job. I really like the organic look of the first one. The prong is a real nice touch. Both are beautiful.

Somehow I missed seeing your wraps until now, Doug, but they look great!
Thanks for sharing.
