Marie, if that's what you do when you're sick and confined to the couch, perhaps I should try to catch the flu or something! Dang, those are all super! And the last one - I've seen a bunch of wraps on this board in the last few months, but that's the first one I've seen where the surround wires were woven - what a superb, artistic idea! Nothing I'd ever think of on my own, nor wouild I even try it - that must have taken a while. Good going, girl! Now get well, get some "real" wire, and get after it! Tom PS - you know, the first one - unakite is one of my favorite stones.

Let's all get sick!!!!! I think you're on to something with the last one. That could turn into a very unique style for you. I like it!!! Susan

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it! At SOME point, I will buy different wire to work with, but I'm kinda weird....gotta use what I bought already to justify buying more....This stuff works until I really get this down to "near " perfection, and can quit "experimenting" with different things! LOL Thanks again!

I especially like #5. The color of the metal against the stone, the wrap, and the stone itself. All cool. Nice job.

They are all superb. Keep up the good work. I think you should go to the back yard and dig up a jar of that money you hid and buy some real wire for the better stones. Then you could sell them and get your money back. It's a vicious circle. Buy, work, sell and buy again. It would be nice if you could make some money at it, though. Ken

I was thinkin I might be able to get 5.00 a piece for them...I dunno, maybe not, but it's worth a try. The flea market here in town is about to wind up for the year as we approach winter, so need to try and make some money on it before that happens. Depending on how I feel, I am planning to set up this weekend....just to test the waters.........

HA! Ya got me on that remark - "about to wind up for the year as we approach winter" - Down here we're approaching low 90's for highs, and we think it's a cold snap! LOL!
