Hi, everybody! These are my latest wraps: a wood with nice reddish colors and a pink quartzite. They are both tumbled. Faces: Backs (while I managed to do a sort of second face to the wood, the quartzite has a really back): The quartzite is also interesting in back-light: Thanks for looking, Adrian

I really like the quartzite piece, Adrian. Did you hammer the wire flat?

Nice wraps Adrian. I like the way you did the wire on the Quartzite, it's really unique. I can't help but wonder though... did you hammer the wire to make it lay flat on the stone? ..or just to flatten it out a bit?

Adrian, you look good hammered! Did you hammer before or after you wrapped? I'm SOOOOOOOOoo glad you posted the back because I'd have no clue how you got those done!
I'm really liking them

Thanks, all.
Curt, I think I know: you like the wood. And so do I, mostly regarding the stone.
Dan and Tweetie, I hammered the wire in order to look better and to lay better on the stone. I hammered it while wrapping, not after. I used a tiny anvil, not the rock itself.
Jeremy, thanks, the complement coming from you worths even more.
Mel, I loved this quartzite from the moment I picked it. And the tumbling completed its glowing.

Here's another vote on that quarzite! I really like how you played with the triangle shape on it!

Thanks again everyone! The quartzite is also my wife's favorite, she wears it! Jack, I don't sell them. At least not yet, but who knows? Never say never. Thanks for your wish, I hope it will help if and when I'll decide to do it.
