Hey, I have another one... I'm pretty sure this is the simplest looking wrap I've ever done. The cab is some sort of agate ( from a fellow RTH'er, thank you once again ) wrapped in 26 ga copper and 26 ga silver plated copper.. and some of that really stiff wire ( had to be really stiff, or this wouldn't have worked....). It didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to, but it is close enough. I've seen alot of really neat eye shaped wraps recently ( Dee, for example ), that's what inspired this. Like an eye, but not. Mostly, I was trying to make it look like the stone is just floating there.... Did I pull it off?  ... the weave at the top was a last minute decision...  ... thin, thin, thin....  By the way, the stone is quite secure... I mean, you could pop it out if you really wanted to, but it would take a bit of effort.  I will post the back later is anyone wants to see.... I just want to keep it mysterious for a day or two....  Chris |

I like it!! I will always wonder how your creative mind works. Every piece you do is a work of art in it's own. No two alike and always one of kind! Great job!

Very cool looking!
I thought about doin that style of wrapping but sat down untill it went away, too tedious for my taste of wrapping

I love it Chris. That cab was done by Jakesrocks (Don) who had a small box in the last Traveling Box address to me with lots of beautiful cabs inside. This is one of them. He makes beautiful cabs with lots of shine and of course when you add my son wrapping them, well, they are something special. Many thanks Don and great job Chris.

Gorgeous! Chris, I think this is my favorite of your wraps! It's unique, and classic at the same time and yes, it really looks like it's floating there! LOVE IT!!!

The stone hanging there, it looks like levitating. Magic!
