Here is a collaboration of cabs and groove wraps, made by Tonyterner and I. I actually tried a little harder to pay attention and concentrate. And I had no tantrums, however Tony did get shrapnel from flying wire cuts!!! And Ok, I have to say it, wire wrapping is as hard as I remember!! Wire and I just do not get along!!!! Lapis cab I made, gold wrap by Tony-this is a gift for Tammy, Builtonrock's wife, I hope she likes it! Crazy lace cab and wrap, with my material for me, made by Tony! Tee Pee Agate- My cab, Tony's wrap Brecciated Red jasper from Mossyrockhound, cab by me and wrap!! PA Local rock, cab and wrap by me! I liked the copper with this stone, I usually don't like copper but it the stone has just a sheen of peach so I wrapped it and put it on a black necklace. Pa rock from our Kyanite trip, cab and wrap by me! Had a problem with the wire twisting! It dawned on me that I should have taken side views so here is one, with my new photo method of silly putty! I think I hit the tripod, LOL!!! So my bails are still a little messy, but I can handle messy, I am not a perfectionist!! Enjoy! Amber

Groovy indeed! That crazy lace is my favorite, the gold goes perfect with the colors and patterns in the cab. I also like your brecciated red jasper cab and wrap, beautiful work! The Tee Pee agate pendant is also a beauty.

These are stunning. Tammy is going to love that Lapis wrap. It is so elegant. Your bails look great and for someone who doesn't get along with wire, your persistance is paying off.

Amber, they ALL look great to me. I'm like you, I am NOT a perfectionist. Sometimes I intentionally add a flaw. Makes it look handmade. ;D Ken

Nice job Amber! You and Tony make a great team. I really like the groove-wrap technique for showing off the stone. The color on that lapis is outrageous - wow! Garry

Those are sweet... I love the clean, sleek look of groove wraps. I would love to try some sometime.... The Lapis and Crazy lace are my favorites.... I like your wraps, too.... but those two stones are just too sweet... great work on all!!!!

You are doing fine, Amber. I can't imagine you sitting still long enough to do that though Did Tony have to glue you to the chair? What cuss words did you use, lol. I like the grooves...I have to get me one of those machines for sure. The bails just come with doing them. The more you do the better you get. I think the lapis is my favorite. T
