Hey Randy, do you have any fingers left ;D. Man these are beautiful. I'm going to have to look at these a few more times to take it all in. I can just imagine how happy he is to have met you. At the rate you are wrapping he is going to need a table exclusively for your wraps.

Randy: Holy Crap!!! You are going to be too tired to give me a lesson next weekend!
WOW! I have to say that you made them all a little different and unique which I am sure is hard to do when you have that many to get out! I have to keep looking at them: Ok some favs: The lapis and the KY agate, I lost track trying to count! Is the guy on RTH? He should be, making all those neat cabs!

Daaaaaaaamn! You must have bullet proof calluses on your fingers to go along with some amazing talent! Each one just seemed better than the one before. You certainly have an eye to match the wrap to the stone. Woody

Oh! That was hard to watch, I cannot imagine how hard was to wrap all of them! I almost forgot the wraps from the beginning now that I reached the end of the post. I think I have to scroll one more time... So, my favorites are... no, scrolling again. ... still no use, I like them all! Outstanding! That pictural Tiger eye in the 7th pic still caught my eye!

I love the 3rd one, the labradorite and the lapis. All are just amazing, but I like those 3 the most.
You shouldn't need to get a real job if you can continue to turn out this many in a week. Very Awesome indeed!!

Man, I'm glad you found something to do with your energy I'd hate to think of the trouble we'd be in if you were loose and unentertained, lol. All great, all so expertly done, great set of cabs!! Just... please don't get bored with it Or run out of wire money.... T

Chris, that's great... The Wrapinator! ROTFL! Randy, you just became the Freeform Wirewrap King! I delighted in how your wire complemented the shape of the stone, every time. Such great work. I'll bet you're feeling pretty good right now. Jo

Great looking wraps. Most people find it difficult to stay in a creative mode for longer than 4-6 hours let alone a week straight ! Well done , ya got good hands !

Karen- I met him at the last meeting (Tidewater Gem and Mineral society). They auctioned off one of my wire wraps there, until then he didn't know that I wrapped. Tonja- funny thing, I got a phone call on Thursday. I got hired by Cooper Construction, I start this week. I've been out of work since November. (no big deal, my retirement check always comes on time) ;D

All I can think of to say is WOW, they are all so beautiful there is no way for me to pick a favorite, maybe 36 favorites.
That's sure a lot of wire, no wonder gold and silver are so high these days. ;D

I bow to the master! Each one is simply beautiful and this guy knows it! I am glad that it is working out for you and that you have found a job! I suspect construction is going to be the boom in the near future. That and road work. Fran

WOW, WOW, WOW!
Love it, love it, love it, love it, etc, you get the idea
I was looking at one of them and thought of something that you might like to try (it looked like you had and I thought of this)... maybe flattening the wire to get a wider "ribbon" of wire. I saw this once and your style would look nice with this - if I can find the site, I'll attach it (crap the site is on my work PC - I'll try to attach tomorrow if I can)
great job - I really like em all
