Nice, that wire goes really well with the cab.

Why thank you Wizard, LOL. But I am way more humble than that.
Julie, that is a NV Agate and that is probably a healed fracture. You didn't do it sweetie, the camera flash is probably just causing it to show up more.
Anyway, about your beautiful wrap. I love the colors you chose and how they play off the cab too. The only suggestion I have is to curl or close your ends so they don't scratch or catch on clothing as best you can. I love this wrap. You've now nailed another one of your goals for the year and nailed it good! Can't wait to see what you do next! Huggs and woof! Jo

Nature!!!
Thank you .... I always forget about the ends ....
When I do remember ... I try to tuck them under in a curl or twist the curl enough so it creates a closed circle.
As always .... WOOF!!!

P.S. Your bindings look good too. Nice and tight, straight and uniform.  |

Julie, i think it is great, too. And I agree with Jo, tuck the ends in so they will not pick clothing.
Way to go.

Looks real good Julie. It's a lot harder than these guys make it look, huh?!!

Great job Julie! Now let me tell ya how I close the loops in the back of the cab, When I bend the wires over to make the bail, I don't bend them all the way. I bend them half-way first, then I do the loops, then I finish vending them completely against the back of the cab and then do the main binding wrap. Does that make any sense? lol

Randy .... coming from you ... it all makes sense .... it's your tutorial that I have had to go back to as I must be suffering from CRS. If anyone else here is wondering ... read Randy's wire wrapping tutorial. I actually am now seeing it in a different light. Now I am adding your additional notes and will plug along once more (dam I have missed this so much) .... and I will try again. Thanks Randy ... I would probably feel hurt if I hadn't got your input. As always .... it's good to be home ...  |

Nate .... that is no lie ....
These wonder ones make it look so easy.
BUT ... I have to remember that one day many years ago they were just starting too. And maybe one day .... I will be one of those that can wrap in their sleep.
As always

You both will be, I have no doubt.
Well... as long as you are up for the challenge... would you like a suggestion on the prongs?

Nice job & pretty stone. I like the colored wire, what gauge is it & where do you get it ?

Very nicely done! The red accent wire really accentuates the red in the stone. Great job!

Wrapping in my sleep, hmmm, well it might be a goal to shoot for...lol, although it might be hard to see the cab with eyes closed...lol.
I agree, some on here make it look easy, ummm Randy -;-). It's not but as a wise old wrapper once told me, Practice, practice, practice.....
