3 beautiful wraps.......posted by Stonesthatrock recently
The purpose is not to copy someone else' work, it was for me to try something new, playing with different textures on a wrap, seeing those 3 beautiful wraps just made me want to expand my horizons a little, and I hope I do not offend the artist who made them.
Some things I learned:
The weave needs round wire, on round wire. I did this with round on square, and it looks ok, but would look better the other way.
It takes a LOT of wire - this is 4 pieces of square at 24 inches long to start the wrap, not including the binding or round wire on the weaves.
Over-all I am happy with the end result, tho I know there is some improvement to be had in some areas, which I think could be fixed with round wire, and or coiling the wire to be woven.
so here it is, again Thanks to stonesthatrock for posting those wraps, they have truely inspired me to move on from my norm, and step outside of the box when it comes to wrapping.
Flail away folks....gimme the cruel truth about it! LOL
Thanks for lookin'
