It gives the finished piece a real sophisticated look IMO.

Those look great Kim. Very nicely balanced. Too bad you don't know what kind of agate that is, cuz it sure is cool. Great work.

Wow..those are so nice! Are you using square wire? Looks like it is but hard to tell for sure. Your work sure is an inspiration kim...something to strive for. I just ordered some tools and wire from Fire Mountain Gems...gonna give it a try.

Kim,

Those are really nice. I like the first Rainbow Jasper one the best. That "I Dunnoite" almost looks like Montana agate, but it's a bit too orange. The earrings for Robert are great, too.

i'm trying to follow banjo's rule and make 1 a night. i fell off course already and missed 2 nights with all the softball games and practices.

sands and i can't figure out what the last one is either. susan we thought the same thing as you - looks like montana agate except too orange. sure would like to know what it is.

cher i like 22 gauge soft wire the best. i had to get 21 gauge half hard half round from rio grande as that's all they had. and the price of silver and gold have gone up too!

I did get half hard half round though, I don't think the dead soft half round holds strong enough so am going to try this and see if I can wrap with it.
