How did I miss this?
Very beautiful sculpture, (wrap), and I don't
believe I have ever seen this type stone before.
I do like the stone very much. Tiffany stone huh......

Boy Kim, you make that look so easy and your patterns just seem to flow around the stone. Really nice cab too, fantastic deep purples!. Did you have any trouble polishing Tiffany Stone? What worked well as your final polish? I've only tried it once and found it difficult to work with....mel

I'm with mel, mine didn't turn out too well as far as final polish went. I was just starting out so I thought I was doing something wrong. Great looking cab and wrap BTW

Hi Kim,
Nice wrap Id like to see the other side and as Twetiepie says "what do you do with the ends" ?
The stone is real interesting too and the colour as well.

Looks really nice, front and back Kim. That's the one stone so far that I've had a hard time getting a mirror polish on using the diamond paste, but it looks like you managed a great shine on it. Excellent work.

Kim I like the back too but I just can't see what you did with the bail wires - did you just cut them near the top?

tweetie i bent them back up toward the bail and cut them off.
i tried tin oxide for polish then went with stoner's diamond method. it has a good polish but i wouldn't call it that mirror shine we all like so well.

Thanks for showing the back also Kim-I'm always curious about how people are terminating their wraps. This is beautiful-Dittos on all above comments!

She's just so dang good...If we didn't like her so well, we'd just have to pinch her head off!
(I'm really joking!) Kim...you really are good! I've only been around since last December & I've seen a huge growth in your wrapping! Just beautiful!
