Thanks to the lesson Sheri gave me and all of the tips, advice and tutorials from Lori, (sitnwrap), I can wrap a cab and it doesn't turn out looking like a boat anchor. Sheri says my first one looks a lot better when you see it from about 10 feet away but other than that, I think my wraps are improving, least I hope they are. Now, I'll try posting some pictures again. I'm still not down with all the slang the wire wrappers on this board use but I can tell you I used square wire for all but 2 oe 3 of these and round on the rest. Rodney cut this cab, its a beauty. This is one with the round wire. This is the one that looks good from 10 feet away. This bail is Lori's design, I love it.. This is how my bracelet turned out after watching Lori's tutorial she posted here on the RTH. It was fun to make. Well, sorry for so many pictures, for all of you RTH-ers that needed a pix fix this should hold you over for a few. Thanks for looking.

Forgot to mention, Brian, (Beef), cut the beautiful heart shaped cab that looks like it split right down the middle. Talk about a perfect cab, and it's perfect in every respect....Shine, shape, finish and placement. Thanks again Brian.

Jamie, it is like you are a racer born to run and came out of the gate like a bolt of lightning. The wraps are gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Those bails are nothing like mine. Mine was plain with nothing to it and you took and added class and personality to all of yours.
The bracelet is beautiful. This is the first one I have seen made by the tut so that is a real treat.
Good to see you posting. WTG!

My oh My, oh MY! Holy crap! Which wrapper did you kidnap? They are gorgeous, such a far cry from the boat anchor that you had posted the last time you tried wrapped (quite a while ago now I think)
You did a fabulous job on all of them - I do like the pastelly opal and the wraps are stunning. Any chance of seeing the backs of the hearts (I'm stumped to how they hold! - and you know me and my need for seeing the rear of all things - please no pictures of assless chaps!)

Good gosh a-mighty! I think some of ya'll are born knowing how to do this! Those are out of this world. All the effort you have put into learning is showing very well.

Jamie, my index finger aches after so much scrolling down! Lucky me that with each scroll I had to stop to admire your pendants. Brilliant and beautiful! All of them, but I was intrigued by those ones (hematite and hearts) where you used Lori's bail and where no other wires are visible. Are they groove wrapped?

Jamie dear........you have been holding out on us!!! Im not really a frilly wrap person but you manage to add decoration to yours while still showing off the stone well. That can sometimes be hard to do. Great job!
