This is going to my great-niece. I did this while watching a Dale Armstrong DVD. Pink Quartz   I should have taken a pic of the back because I'm kinda proud of how THAT turned out too.  I'm going to put together my Inland WizlingCG today. I need to check the basement and garage for a full face shield before I attempt anything, though. |

I never thought of wrapping a heart that way. Very creative.

Thank you for all the positive comments. I used directions from Dale "Cougar" Armstrong's Beginner DVD #3. I'm so happy with it I started another one tonight This particular wrap can be used with other shapes, too, which I want to try out before my (hopefully) super cool batch of stones is done. It's way too cold to work in the basement at the torch so I don't feel guilty abandoning my lampworking for a while.
Yes, Kalamazoo can be cold, but as bad as places further north. Since we live very close to the eastern short of Lake Michigan we usually get Lake Effect Snow similiar to Buffalo, NY!!

That’s real interesting about the Michigan Lake effect!
I’ve got real deep roots in the Kalamazoo area
and spent a considerable amount of time there
in the early 80’s.
Hope to see more of your fine wraps
Basements ROCKS!
have fine day
