I'm so easily distracted, but thanks to meeting regularly with a fellow wrapper, this is what I've been doing recently. Some metallic stone that I got at a rock shop. Oh, it was messy! Turned the water black, but I love the result.  Ocho geode. I love the patterns and swirls, and can stand there for hours, going through a box of these at the local rock shop!  Lace agate, russian jade bead, and freeform pearl.  |

Lotsa hematite in that first one, huh? I've not seen very much of your work, but sure hope you post more. These are amazing!

Wonderful wraps. Very complicated. I can't even tell how you did it.
Great job.

Thanks for the nice comments. I do a quick lurk usually 'cause I always need a rock fix.  |

How long do they take? They are quite complex...

I never really keep track, but not including the cab time, the wrapping might be 4-6 hours, give or take. Not in one sitting, I need think time often when I'm 'stuck' and set it down for awhile.

Dee, it has been far too long since I have seen your work on this board! On that second wrap; is the wire on the right side a solid piece that looks beaded or is it tiny beads along two sides of that wire? Either way, it is a great addition to that piece!

Hi Frane! I think what you're looking at is a pewter lizard charm that's climbing up the side. I have fun with charms, and sneak them in when I can. |
