Here are four wraps from a class I took a couple weeks ago..I actually sold the black one to my boss (my best customer!) and the mahogany one is going to my mom. I'm not happy with the other two, but at least I learned a new technique. Here is the black obsidian:  The mahogany:  a birthstone wrap with a snaptite setting (don't like it but I might try it again) sorry for the photo quality:  and finally a small agate cab KD did for me...I'm iffy on the wrap but as I said, I'm just learning:  Thanks for looking. |

I like them - that's the Preston Reuther way right? Looks like his stuff really like the birthstone wrap - the last one is nice - a little different

They look wonderful. I think the birthstone is very pretty.

You coming right along Hermy! If I ever get a camera, I will send a photo of a six 4mm grandmothers ring I make with snapsets, and .025 wire. Looks good, I sell a lot of them.
They are two rows of 3 4mm stones.

Herm, I like them all, I think you did a great job on them.
I'm with Kim, what is it you don't like?

I guess all I can see are the flaws...I don't like the moss agate as a stone but it as the right size so I used it. Then I can't seem to get it to sit in the bottom of the setting, it keeps slipping up. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I"ve been doing some more and will take photos at a future date.
