Oh no, I hadn't thought of that (fingers hurting), this is not going to work for my mother who has arthritis in her hands, she has made some great stuff with copper, valenses (sp) to go around sliding glass doors (looks like grape vines), but that was with copper. Ok I remember looking at a site today that had colored copper wire, does that stuff look any good when used?
BTW Robert those look great!

spike, my fingers TIPS hurt from holding the wire, my hands don't hurt. Your mom should be fine. Back when I was doing more of these you build up a resistance to the finger tip pain but like I said, I haven't done any in a couple of months. Also, I use half hard wire, you can get dead soft for your mom which will bend and mold easier.

I like them all - they look great - you might want to tuck in the ends on the bail so they don,t hook on clothes??

I am so sorry I posted that here. It should have been a seperate topic, I realized that fairly quick but my cable intrenet would not let me come back and delete it. Very long story that I am hoping will be over soon. But thank you for replying!!

Those look wonderful, I love the way you did the last one. They are all beautiful stones too. Actually, it's too hard to pick a favorite. Killer Job on all of them.

I can't imagine why you stopped doing those, you're great at this!! I really like how the wire flows with the stone in the first pic, too cool! Sometime soon I'm gonna wrap those two amazing cabs that you sent me a while back, I still wanna practice some more first.

Wow Robert...it sure doesn't show that you haven't wrapped in a while. They are all amazing...unique and very well done. I can't pick a favorite either...they are all very nice. I really like the color of the Queensland...but the other 2 are just as nice. Thanks for posting these...now go cut some slabs and rest those fingers.

I think they are all just gorgeous!! I know what you mean about sore fingers. It seems I get into a wrapping frenzy and my fingers hurt for a week. Silly thing is, after they're better, I do it again!! I never learn, hehe. Great job, don't forget to show us the last one again when you finish it. Tonja  |
