Dan - This would be a great subject for one of you photo tutorials. Did you use masking tape and mark off areas of the stone? Did you pre-mark the areas to be bubdle-wrapped ... etc.
In, other words, please make it easier for us to copy!

Sonofagun! That is absolutely out of this world, When it comes to wire-wrapping, I like a minimalist approach, and this nails it exactly. Just enough accent without hiding the stone too much...and your design shows that this is your calling. I think you are a natural born wire wrapper!

Phenomenal! That is outstanding work. Love the shape of the stone -- gotta try that. And the wrap is perfect. Great use of the curves. Fifth time is obviously the charm. Looking forward to the next one.

If I can get my camera to take some decent photos I'll work up a tutorial of the entire process, slab to wrap. Vance - I like wire wrapping but I want to try electroforming also and I've been pricing kits.... any tips or suugestions would be greatly appreciated! |

That's really nice, Dan. Simple, elegant. Good job. You seem to excel at all this stuff...
Must be the Highlander in you.

Fantastic love how you shaped the stone and the wrap just really sets the whole piece up. Looks like you have inspired many thanks for sharing.
