I've put aside the stained glass equipment for a while to get back to the rocks - I enjoy both, but one needs a break occasionally! This is a set of banded onyx in sterling 22ga square and 1/2-round wire. I made the cabs about a month or so ago, but didn't have them wrapped when I decided to do stained glass for a while. Anyways, hope y'all like them. I don't think they measure up to Marie's work ("superioragates"), but they'll do for me. Thanks for looking, y'all! Tom

They are lovely! (Makes mental note to try twisting wire). I like the simplicity set off by the change in texture of the wire.

Hey, thanks, everyone! I found doing these that after a month or so off, my fingers were a bit rusty, but by the time I got to the 2 smaller ones, it was coming back to me.

Tom: I think that set is stunning, you really got the knack for wrapping now, I think any hobby needs a rest every now and then, it is much easier to do nice work when not pressured to do it and you can enjoy the process. Amber

Very nice set. I like how you matched the wire work so that it is consistent in style for all three pieces. I think you got the "rust" off those fingers for sure.
