This is a set I made for my niece for her high school graduation the end of this month. I haven't sent it to her yet so don't tell her This is the first time I've done a "double" wrap although the double part is a bead with a bead inside. The stone is a tumbled Apache Tear (boy was that a slippery bugger to wrap). I would not have picked red and black but those are her favorite colors according to her mom so that's what she gets. Here's my first wire wrap using beads in the wrap. The cab is one from Randy so I haven't a clue what it is aside from it being white with cool black dendrites. (maybe dendritic agate) the back Thanks for looking.

Diane - You are really going to town! Love that black and white dendrite wrap. Your niece will love a personalized gift for graduation. Are those her favorite colors? or school colors? or? Barb

I love that one wth the medicine bow agate and the beads. Just enough beads to add a nice flair but not overpowering. The whole thing has a perfect artistic balance. I like the earring and matching pendant also. I went through a black and red phase in the 80's.

Thanks Randy, Amy, and Marie. I appreciate the feedback from fellow wrappers. Since it's one of your cabs I'm glad you like it Randy.
Amy, I didn't know how many beads to put on it but the number just seemed right.
Marie, coming from one of my mentors on here that is high praise indeed, thank you.

That use of the beads is really nice, heck, without them, the wrap alone is great. The beads do seem to really add a bit flair. I will have to try that some also.

That set for your niece is so playful. The Black and red looks really nice together. What a treasure of a gift. Beautiful job on the Medicine bow also.

Thank you all. I hope my niece likes it as much as you all do. I just sent it out in the mail today so she should get it before her graduation.
Mike, go for it.
Jo, can't take credit for the Medicine Bow, that honor is for Randy (thanks again Randy).
