Here's a few wraps I made for my girls for Valentine's Day. First is a heart that Jo (Naturenut) sent me for my wife. She felt bad that I broke the obsidian cab I was working on and sent me this to replace it. Thank you very much Jo, you're a sweetheart! Jennifer loves it! I wrapped this with 22ga sterling silver wire I bought at Hobby Lobby. It didn't turn out too bad, considering the wire is very soft. I will not be wrapping with this stuff again. Next are the two I made for my daughters. These are wrapped with 22ga square half hard and 22ga half round half hard. This is much better to wrap with! Lazulite for Abby: Lepidolite for Emily: Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you get to spend it with someone you love. Nate

O, I love that woven bail you did. Actually, it looks like you braided the wires. That is really cool.
I bet your wife and daughters were smiling ear to ear.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The girls did love them. My wife wore the heart sunday, and my daughters have both worn theirs to school. They're very proud of them.
Good eye Lori, I did braid that wire for the heart's bail. That stuff is very soft and very easy to manipulate.
