Patty, liveoak , asked to see some more negative space wraps. I thought some of you might want to see them, too. I have posted a lot of these before, so sorry for the duplicates. A lot of newer members haven't seen a lot of them. A few, I just thought were interesting. I think there are 60 images, so if you want to pass them- you have been warned.

Your artistry is superb, Tela! I never tire of admiring them, nor do I ever skip any.
Your eye for design is a gift.

How clean, beautiful, minimal but far from insignificant are those wraps! 😱Beyond lovely, such talent and eye. 🫠

Sensory overload!
I know I am going to be looking at these a couple more times today. You could literally make up a coffee table book with these images and a little descriptor of the cabs! Interestingly, my brain popped fireworks each time I came across a copper/rose gold wrap, versus the silver ones. Did not expect that as the silvers are perceived as more precious as a rule. Will have to meditate on that a while! :-)
Just fantastic workz! Thank you kindly for uploading them.

Funny you should mention that about copper. I prefer working with copper and I especially like the patina, but when I had my shops, they just didn't sell as well. Perceived value and all. I could barely get my money back. But, some of my best work was copper. When you work with copper, you are more brave cause if you mess up, you're not out a lot of money. Even now, I work out difficult wraps in copper and then I'll do them again in silver. My favorite is 14k yellow and rose gold fill. I like the look and working characteristics of it.

And the customer is always right, you have to make up what will sell! People worry me...... thank heavens for rocks! |

I have to agree, there is a "coffee table book" in the making here ! Thank you for posting them.
I'm too overwhelmed to go down the list, telling you what I like about each one. You don't disappoint, and I hope you can give me permission to save the photos to study.
Thank you for posting them & for the inspiration you provide me, Patty

Thank you, Patty. I'm glad you like them.
I have to give a book idea some thought. I may do it. I have SOOOOOO many completed pieces with pics. Probably 900-1000 pieces.

Superb.
This would be cool on a TV screen continuous loop in a waiting room like at the doctor office or something.
