You wrappers never cease to amaze me with your wire creations. #1 really caught my eye. I don't think I have seen a wrap quite like than one before.

They are all nice but I'm with Randy, that first one is a really innovative design. I really like it. Good work Ken.

Great work Ken! Did you say that first one is lapis? It looks so dark but it could just be the photo. I love how you wrapped it and I have decided I need to get 18 gauge half round to do the prongs. It really looks nice! I love all of them but that top design just has to be tried! Is there any chance you can show the back? Fran

That lapis must be stunning in person - the color is so deep that it almost looks black on here! Really like the accent wrap too - I might have to try that prong approach some time (vs grooving) - at least I know what to do with those ends!

That Lapis is a beauty! Is there anything securing at the top behind?

Great wraps Ken, I really love the first one as it looks like it just floats in the frame. It's a great design. Thanks also for posting the gauge of the prongs. I wasn't sure about what gauge you used and I really want to try my hand at it.
Best of luck with your show.
