I am somewhat embarrassed to put my first wraps online but my wife told me that if I commented on someone elses wrapes I needed to allow the them to comment on mine. So here is the first 6 I have done. So here they are: Front Back First ever 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Thanks for looking :blush: Tom

Your wife is right lol... Those look great, you got all of the steps down and the bindings (which are the hardest part) look much cleaner than mine did, and the size of the stones that you're working are perfect Now try it with square wire, you'll love working with that stuff. Great job!!

Hey! Those are pretty good! I like the 2nd & 3rd one! Randy is right about the bindings, they are a bugger to get right, but you will! They sure look a LOT better than my first ones did! Are those tumbled stones? Cuz if they are...wow, even better! Did you notice that the pear shapes, and thinner stones are easier to work with? That's what I taught myself on, the pear shapes, it was a lot easier. Keep up the good work!! Marie

All the stone are right out of my tumbler. I have no means of cabbing yet. I find the stone in the field, throw it in the tumbler and hope for the best. Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. Tom

Tom: I think you should be mighty proud! I really like that 2nd copper one from the left, the circle thingys are very cool! You will get better and better, you came to the right place, the people on here are amazingly talented and will help all they can! Keep up the good work and welcome to the board! Amber

6 firsts. What a great group. Tumbled stones were my first wraps also and with the irregular shapes it can pose a challange. Your swirlies are beautifully round and my favorite is that second one. Looks like a tear just about to drop. Very pretty.

Tom, you got nothing to worry about with those - they are very good. Are you sure they're your very first ones? Keep on - you're doing good.
