These are the latest ones I've been doing. Trying to get the hang of it all. Going back to cabs for a couple of days.....  Banjo has been an inspiration and encouragement to post these. Blue Lace-This was one of my first ones.  This was another "first one". Hopefully you can see the improvement...hopefully there was some...haha.  This is a Purple Burro Creek set I did for my sister. Sorry about the picture being so huge.  Green Moss Agate  Green Serpentine  Hickorite-Can you see the shoe or slipper?   Thanks for looking and letting me share ;D -MrsBanjoCreek |

These are all really nice! I like the green moss agate the most. Pretty stone, and I love the way you've twisted the wire down on the right side. Is that round or square wire?

KJ,
Thanks for the kind words. The wire is square. Banjo taught me to use half round for the bindings and the wrap is in square.

WOW Beautiful!! I really love the Hickorite! Your wrapping skills are perfect. I hope to learn this someday. Still have to learn more about shaping rocks before I can wrap them. Great Job Mrs. Banjo.  Tonja  |

Those are wonderful!!! You're doing great! Your sister is going to be THRILLED!!
I finally found a Canadian source for square wire and have order the correct tools (the ones I bought at wallyworld have teeth and have been wrecking my practice wire). I haven't managed to get a complete wrap yet!!
