I finally got photobucket to cooperate and my camera to take a few ok shots of my most recent wraps. I got brave this time and showed pictures of the backs. Don't know if I'll do that again...lol. Unknown agate from Sheri wrapped in 22g silver back of wrap with dime to show size (think I liked the back of this one better than the front) small amethyst in 22g silver back of amethyst with dime to show size Same amethyst wrap but I think it shows the color better in this picture. Thanks for looking.

Those are real nice. Like the almost star in the second pic (back of first pendant). What is the stone you used for a background in the second to the last pic? Jo

Great job! Your binding wraps are perfect, that's the hardest part for most people.

Thank you all. Appreciate all the nice compliments. Jo, it is amethyst. Good eye Nate, I wasn't sure the color came out on the picture. Randy, I agree, those binding wraps are really hard to get straight. It takes me a while to get them at least close to straight. My biggest challenge is getting the wires at the top of the cab to bend close to the top of the cab so there isn't a big gap there. Sometimes they just don't want to bend right and I end up with kinks in the wire at the top. Any pointers anyone? Thanks again. Diane

They all look quite nice.

Amber, quit staring and start wrapping girl! Don't make me get out my snow boots and come there...lol.
Susan, feel free to steal whatever ideas you want, I don't think I'm a great source but go for it. Thank you for the great compliment. I think I remember it said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so I'm flattered you even consider it.
