A while back I had my mom visit Sands' site. I've realized if I can get all my family interested in some aspect of this hobby, they don't give me nearly as much grief. So my dad's helped with the grinder, and the females of the family get to look at possible jewelry. See the pretty rock? Wouldn't it look great around your neck?

Anyway, she chose this stone from him. I've been waiting for inspiration or a reason to wrap it, and figured Mother's Day would work. I didn't want to hide any of the stone, as I love the picture.

Here's a decent shot of the wrap itself. The stone looks much better in person. I attempted a Jonje style swoop-de-loop, and then had to edit it as it wasn't really me. Perhaps the bead would have helped.

Here's a better full frontal version, but a poor shot of the wrap.

To me looks like Rocky mountain foothills between Denver and Colorado Springs.

You did a great job of showing off the stone. Your bindings are very clean. "a Jonje style swoop-de-loop" is that a new term for wire Wrapping?
	Now all I need is a pez rock.

The wrap is so nice and discrete, letting the "landscape" in the rock's pattern entirely visible. Adrian

Thanks all! Adrian, I edited the second photo so it would be as close as possible to the actual colors. The first photo is too dark & grainy to tell anything.

LOL - jonje, I couldn't think of any other way to describe what you do to the tops of the wraps.
