Yep, I'm out of wire ;D (I ordered another 100 feet last night) ... Sorry for the sucky pics, the owner of these showed up too damn early so I had to click these off kinda fast. I have 7 more of his to go, and he's bringing more next week. Since I'm finally employed again, I can't pump out 36 in 5 days like before. I really like this one, it's a Mexican fire agate, and it's tiny! Since it was slightly thicker, I used four strands of wire (gold filled), I normally use three.... Lapis, becoming one of my favorite stones.... Can't remember what this one is... VA unakite, our state stone.... A beautiful piece of moonstone..... I can't remember what this one is either, it's much more chatoyant than tigereye..... How did I do? ;D lol... As soon as I get my new wire, I'll have more to post. Now I gotta get ready for the craft show tomorrow. I have over 1,000 tumble pendants to sell, along with 40 wire wraps and some other misc stuff. Gotta save up for a custom chopper!

Those are really different and cool looking and you complemented the stones with wire perfectly. The third one looks like a ladybug to me. LOL. Good luck with the show tomorrow! Jo

Hey Randy I love them all. I think my fav is the Lapis just because blue is my favorite color and also the last one but just because of the stones because all your wraps are gorgeous.
That pink stone may be Rhodonite and the last one looks like blue Tigereye it also may go under the name of hawk eye or eagle eye (something like that)

Of Course I love them all, but that Fire Agate is really pretty. I like the way you embellish more on the tiny stones to give them more size, but still don't detract from the stone itself. I like the last one too-and the Lapis is pretty sweet, and. hell I love them all! What does this guy do with all of these?

I like the unakite and epidote and the pink one is rhodonite and the green on is dyed tiger eye. You did pretty good on these. Not quite up to your normal standards, though. Just kidding. They are all great. Ken

If it is a good show, you should really make a killing on your stuff! your wraps are so beautiful! Now, this batch is no exception, even though it is for someone else and their stones. You did a fantastic job on the wraps, even though they were rushed. I love the rhodonite and the lapis. I was thinking the last was labradorite. I had some that looked greenish like that. Good luck tomorrow! Fran

Thanks y'all! The last one is definitely not tigereye. The flash photo makes it look like there's banding, but there's not. I've cabbing alot of tigereye and this ain't it! ;D The third one down may very well be rhodonite.

All are great! The heart shows your versatility and the fire opal is my favorite stone in the batch. The favorite pendant is the Lapis, great stone and very elegant lines of the wrap.

That last one is definately hawks eye..which does have banding in it, more so that traditional gold hued tiger eye. And it is not dyed. If the color is not real, it is the result of heat treating gold tiger eye..not dying.... Awesome wraps BTW Jeff
