I think posting these and hearing everyone's comments helped me because last night I finished a piece that is completely new. I'll be posting pictures later. Thanks everyone!

Thank you for sharing them, I hope this thread continues on & on  .
I have to admit, that seeing YOUR wire wraps is what made me want to learn to wire wrap, in the first place.
Most peoples "border wraps", are just too whoop-de-do for me. All that wire at the top making bows, and curls & such, it's just not my kind of thing.
HOWEVER, your wraps are different, each & every one of them.
All have thought out, unique characteristics that tie together interestingly.
And NONE of your designs are the same.
We all take breaks from things we do, bounce into other things & back again.
You'll get back to it, when the time is right.
But I hope you'll keep sharing your repertoire, as it's a great inspiration 
Patty
Patty, I don't even know how to respond to this. I am so grateful for your kind comments. 
I'll post some more later. I'm just going down a list, so it should be easy to keep out the duplicates.

It's a beautiful thing to rediscover a lost love. The exhileration of bringing forth excellence and the pushing of boundaries into new frontiers is like a rebirth to me. This seems to be best manifested in the arts and crafts. I totally agree. The arts and crafts live for innovation. |

While I absolute love all of them, my favorite wraps are the Colorado rose bud agate and that Bruno. They are so unique. The background settings are also wonderful, expecially that pacific coast piccaso.

I hate to say this, but since I quit selling, I don't put as much effort into the pictures. I probably should, but it is time consuming to say the least. |

I adore your wraps! When we started our rock journey one of the things I tried to see for interest's sake was wrapping. After a couple of months or so, my conclusion was mehhh.. Nice, but not spectacular enough to hold my interest. Of course, that is just me with my own work. And then you see some of the complex weave wraps, and that looked like waaaaaay too much work.
But your wraps are pretty spectacular. Please keep posting!

You have a basic elegance flowing through your work with just enough complexity going on to show that you have mad skills! To my eye, just gorgeous! Just read that again, I apologize for sounding a little gushy, but it is what it is... :-) |

Beauties, one and all. I couldn't possible pick a favorite, each one has it's own unique merit.
So many ideas come out, of looking at these- thank you for sharing.
Keep em coming

That is my goal. |

Thanks, Patty.
I have a folder called OLD PICS. It contains some of my favorites of the older pieces. It's pretty big. So, I'll work through those. Should take awhile. |
