Very nice Tom, did you use 2 colors of wire or is that the flash? Love it nice job! Amber

Amber, I took the pics with the flash turned on, and that way, most of it comes out true colors. But it also makes some of the silver look more gold or copper colored. But yep, it's all silver wire.

Dang Tom..... This is so beautiful. Remember it was just a couple of months ago you had begun your wire wrapping journey and you were wanting to know how to capture your stones in photographs. Look at you go...you are already at Master level:) Well.....my my my is all I can say and Nicely done.

Thanks, Sara! You and quite a few other RTH'ers have really been my mentors for these past several months - I've tried to learn as much as I can from y'all, then put it into practice. Hopefully, I'll get there some day! BTW, my Mom and Sis are giving me for Christmas, a beginning class on silversmithing. It'll be the middle of January, one very long but rewarding day, and I can hardly wait! I have hopes that I'll be able to put something together after that class that surpasses my wire wrapping - with a LOT of practice, LOL! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to y'all! Tom

Beautiful Piece!!
For some reason it looks like Tiger Eye with Hematite running through it.
Great piece no matter what it is.

You did a beautiful job on that. I love how the silver reflects the stones color. Just beautiful.
