Finally, some good ones! Yeah, all of my wraps are the same basic style, but once again I wanted to show off some really neat cabs, a couple of which were cut from rough that I received from other board members. Check it out! ..... I don't have a clue what this is, but I love it! This (and the next one) are some sort of fortification agate cabbed from an end cut that I received from Sheri (Rockhobbit)..... The next two shots are the same wire wrap, two angles. I cabbed this from a slab of Labradorite that was a gift to me from Amber..... Some kind of awesome red moss that I received from Jamie, ..... This I cut from a solid chunk of Hematite. Yes, magnet will stick to it! ;D Really cool piece of Mexican red lace, I think that it's from the local rock shop pile.... Rhyolite from the local rock shop pile..... Medicine Bow agate from the local rock shop pile..... Marra Mamba from the local rock shop pile, I really love the way that it turned out. I gave this one to Randysgal.... How did I do? ;D lol Oh, I did 2 on Friday, 5 yesterday, and 2 today. I'm gonna do at least one more tonight.

Thanks y'all! Hopefully Rio Grande will get some more wire in soon, the Medicine Bow used up the last of my gold wire. I still have enough Sterling to do about 6 more wraps. I need to get in the habit of ordering wire "before" I run out Oh well, I still have a crap-load of preforms that need to be grinded. Th medicine bow seems to be a hit with everyone that sees it, so I'll probably do about ten more of those. They'll look good in silver.

Weekly contribution? You contribute weekly more than some of us contribute monthly! And what a beautiful contribution! All of them are so perfectly and beautifully wrapped, and the stones themselves are eye-poppers. Adrian

Randy, there is not a stinker in the bunch! ;D Somehow, your wraps always look so happy! The stone an wire just come together as if that is what they always wanted to be... OK, I still need my coffee this morning but your wraps have almost made me wake up Fran

Thanks y'all, I really enjoy the comments I just received another parcel in the mail from Ebay seller doughboy265, it's Tully Valley agates. One of them is a really deep blue 6 pounder that's gonna make some bad@ss cabs!! As soon as my new blades arrive (since "naturenut" wore out my last one ;D ), I'll be back in business!

Randy, your cabs are great, and wraps are nice but I really like the way you wrapped #2 it has a nice contrast on the two sides instead of being the same. ( if you can understand what I am trying to say), and the that wrap you gave your wife is really pretty, love the stone, what a shine. Donna

Contrast, got it! That actually happened by accident. I screwed up one of the wires so I cut it off and finished one wire short, and you got me thinking enough to come up with a new idea. I'm gonna try it now (honest), I'll post a pic. ;D

Very beautiful stones and wraps. We liked the Labradorite and Medicine Bow agate the most, though all were wonderful. Debby and Tom
