Cina, that's really neat! We have an uncut, untumbled amethest crystal (I think) that my dad collected, and my sister and I would love to wear it somehow. A wrap like that would be perfect!
I do want to mention that I was thrilled to see your simple "kid" wraps earlier. Between your pix and the books I finally received, I was able to create something that looked (kinda) decent. My wire was too thin, however, to actually send one out for someone to wear. I'm still at the hobby wire stage, dontcha know.
I'm now looking at the half round and square wire; any suggestions?
Thanks, again!

Surprise: to cause to feel wonder or astonishment by being unexpected. Happens every time I crack (now cut!) a rock.

cina nice job on the amethyst!

karen i like 22 gauge wire and did you get a "thing-a-ma-bob" or two? definitely get a couple of those. once you think you have the hang of it just take the leap to the better wire. it is actually easier to use and you'll be more careful because it costs more. and come up with a method to keep your tools from scratching your wire whether it's sanding your tools, taping them, or using tool magic.
