Hi! ;D I'm finally using the real stuff now. I did something a little different with the one on the right, I used both gold filled square wire and sterling silver square wire. The silver one on the left was done by request for a man that works with my mom in Orlando FL, he saw one that I sent my mom and said he'd buy one if I could make it in silver. Square wire (dead soft) is the way to go, I love this stuff!!  (almost forgot, the one on the left is a Botswana agate, on the right is green zebra agate)  Here's the back view of the silver one.......  |

Randy
Really like the Bot man. I guess I'm going to try my hand
at wrapping. Going to practice a bit first, thanks to Cher.

Thanks for the cool words y'all! Pete, I was scared to try this at first, but then I finally thought "it's only a rock and some wire". I'm glad that I tried it! It gets easier with each one. I've probably done a dozen so far.

the word for those is "dynamic", you got some real creative juice in those bones, Randy. the backs are as pretty as the fronts, and i'm not a real wire wrap lover, to be honest. maybe because i can't do it and am jealous?
too cool!

I have been meaning to reply to your current wrappings and now you have already done more. I agree with RockyRacoon, you make it look so easy and the flow of the wire is great. Keep up the nice work. It gets easier...at least that's what Banjo tells me...=-)

Thanks darlin! I have a book on doing wraps, it was great in pointing me in the right direction but studying Banjo's wraps has helped me out more than anything. Thats why the tops of mine kinda resemble his work, but I'll never be able to duplicate the crazy stuff that he does!! I enjoy looking at his website to see if he's done anything new lately. |
