Most of these rocks came out of my goodie box sent to me by Aunuts....Thanks again Jo! I shaped them up and formed cabs for wrapping with my dremel...and here they are, all wrapped up for the New Year! I'm not sure if I like this one or not, and not sure it will stay that way, but here it is for now Self collected rocks Green Maryellen And my favorite one - Ya just KNEW there had to be a Laker in there somewhere! Thanks for lookin' everyone! Marie

Gargeous wraps, Marie! I think the 3rd one down is my fave. OK, so tell me about the little flowers/flourettes - what are they, where'd you get them, and how are they attached? They make a nice, subtle addition to the wrap.

Dang Marie these wraps just keep getting more lovelier. This is just something for you to think about but I love to wear pins on my business suits/winter coats. Some of these pendants would also make a lovely suit/blouse pin, I will leave the tweeking of the bail/pin up to you. LOL The addition of the little flowers reminded me of a pin that my aunt used to wear which I coveted. But did my selfish cousin give it to me...........heck no....

Tom -Thanks!!!! The little flowers are beads, 4mm I think, and I got them from Fire Mountain Gems. (www.firemountaingems.com) I bought them when I first started wrapping with craft wire....those wraps of course were TRASHED!!! But I kept the beads. Moondragon -Thanks!!! I did find a way to do an open bail, a person could slip in their pocket, or if wearing a button up blouse, it could be slipped in to the top opening (cleavage) . I haven't looked in to pins yet tho....that would certainly be something for me to look in to! OK, now ya got me thinkin again! This could be dangerous....for all involved! LOL I understand about wanting something like that from a loved on.....my grandmother had a ring.....but.... Thanks again! Marie

Marie, all are great but the last one really shows off well! You matched your wire pattern to mimic the pattern in the laker. Great work! Fran
