I wasn't making cabs for a while (fixed that ;D cabbing again), so I turned to making more wraps than usual. I really got into it and found I could really crank them out. I also tried some new styles and shapes. Now instead of coming home and watching TV or playing video games after dinner, I make wraps. Here are the results after two weeks of intensive wrapping. Hope you enjoy them.

I like how it came out and am glad I decided to start over. ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-11-11433.jpg) Poppy Jaspers ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-2-11006-1.jpg) ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-2-11003.jpg) ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-2-11018.jpg) Arizona agates ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-2-11014.jpg) ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-11-11437.jpg) Hungarian agate ![](http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/rocklicker/1-11-11463.jpg)

My, my you have been busy. Hard to pick a favorite but I am partial to the 1st Maury Mt. Moss and that local agate is very nice material. Do you find a lot of that?

Man, Steve!!! What a bunch of BEAUTIFUL pendants you've made! The cabs are gorgeous and your wire work is, as always, extremely beautiful and precise. The 2nd poppy is my favorite.

WOW, very nice. That is definately arizona agate, but that Brenda Agate looks remarkably the same as arizona agate. I really like that local agate. Especially the first one. Very pretty and wonderful wraps too.

Wow, these are beautiful!!! I think the last one is my favorite. I do have a question or two. First is, how thick are your cabs? And how many wires are you using on each? Looking at them I only count four but I can't see the backs. Your work is truly amazing. Thanks for the great inspiration. Please keep posting.

Wow, I really love your style of wrapping, every one of those are top-shelf!! Also, I really dig the local agate, really cool stuff. Not sure that I can pick a favorite, but the first one and last one do stand out.
