I was a wrapping fool last night... Not sure what this is, my guess is Mexican Lace. Anyone know?  One of the Ammies I cabbed the other day.  This is an old stock OJ that I got on Ebay and cabbed a while back.  Antigorite that I found back in PA and cabbed a while back.  This is the other Ammy I cabbed the other day. Sent this to my sis for her birthday today.  This is an Amazonite (moonstone mix) from back in PA that I cabbed Randy-style (oval with no girdle) a while back.  Last but not least... a Seraphinite that I bought at Jailhouse Rocks in Oregon.  Thanks for looking.  Jo |

The entire group is just absolutely beautiful. That last one makes me think of a peacock. I love the amy. Making all those prongs so perfect had to be nerve wracking.
My favorite is the Antigorite. There is just something going on there like a waltz between wire and stone.

Marie, I'm in love with that OJ one - it practially screams "Victorian" to me! Gorgeous. And then there's the amethyst - both of them are outstanding. But then there's the lace! And the moonstone! And oh wow, I think you just gave me the name of some stuff I've been slabbing - "antigorite" - and you really made it pop!
I gotta stop now - my eyes are hurting and I'm getting dry from all the drool.

Thanks BeLinda, you're the best!
Jackie, you keep wrapping with Randy and you'll be teaching me some new things!
Tom, you're too cute. I totally thought Victorian too right from jump street!
Lori, I thought peacock, and then Bill saw an Angel...
Thanks all!

I wish! Billy only let me bring my Ameritool inside once when a storm hit and I only had a couple stages left to go. I think I could get away with it in time. But, I usually set up on a picnic table provided at most campgrounds and hook up into the electric outlet on the exterior of our RV. I have surgical tubing on the drain on it so I just drain out onto the ground, which is nice. Then I use a big pitcher that I refill at our water hookup (we have a splitter). It works pretty well, but takes some effort with set up and break down... and you absolutely can't leave it out and walk away, lest it grow legs, or a sudden weather change occur.

Jo, your wraps are very inspired and beautiful. Although I am not partial for lots of wire in the wraps, that last one looks very good.
The OJ is my favorite.

Hey Jo, as usual those are wonderful. My favorite is the Moon Stone mix. I love the look of the stone in the wire. That stone just pops to me.

Nice Jo..... That OJ really has some wild colors in the stone , and that seconed amethyst is just too cool. But I'd say my favorite of these is the Antigorite. What did you do there? Is that a twisted square wire and a strait square wire twisted together ? (O.K. now I'm confused ) Chris |

Thanks everyone. Randy, you're too kind. Chris, it's a smaller gauge square silver wire twisted and then twisted with a straight 20 gauge 12k gold square wire.
