Hey RTHers,

I just have a couple new wraps to show...

This first one is a half a snail fossil wrapped in copper. This one was a custom wrap and the person wanted to nice and simple, so this is what I came up with.

I had a little fun on the back... It came out pretty cool.

This second wrap is a little different...
One side is pretty much just a basic woven border wrap with a neat little picture jasper cab. Wrapped in copper with silver plated copper accent.

The other side is also just a basic woven border wrap with a white lace agate cab. Wrapped in silver with copper accent.

Pretty neat, huh

? That little decoration at the bottom of the agate side actually holds the whole thing together. If you were to cut that the stones would just pop right out.

I need more stones that are the same size....

Oh, by the way. I've been on Etsy for just over a year now, and I just had my first sale the other day... and my second on the same day, how exciting. The second one that sold was this one...

Kind of hard to let it go

. But hey, I could always make another, right

Looks fantastic!

One year? only one sale? How is that possible? Just looked, and I think you have got good quality stone and outstanding unique designs at reasonable prices at Etsy! So what does the public want? Hope things will pick up a bit for you.

I thought about getting on Etsy but when you are one in a million it is hard to get noticed. Maybe you will start to get known now. Good Luck Jim

Really nice. I like that second one doing double duty. And congrats on the sales.

Your intricate wraps are beautiful, but you are also a wizard at creating a unique design in simpler wraps. I've kind of missed those-- Susan

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
