Hey guys, I'm still around ;D... just hard to find time to post.... always lurking though .... Anyways, I have still been wrapping, of course ... I even sold a few more on Etsy ( I'm up to 7 now ), woo hoo... I figure I better show you guys what I have been up to. ****Also, remind some of you who you are up against in the Cab and Wrap Team Competition, ha ha ha This first pendant kind of turned into a big wad of wire and stone. It just didn't turn out how I expected it to.... It contains 3 varicite cabs, a tumbled piece of pet wood, and a tumbled piece of pink chalcedony. Wrapped in silver plated copper and brass wire. ... and the back... what a mess, lol. Next is just a small quartz crystal, about 1" long...I like how this one came out, I am going to make some more like this. I am getting some tourmaline crystals soon... This is also silver plated copper and brass. and the back, looks almost as good as the front. And this last one is my first multi-stone piece in actual sterling silver and gold filled wire. By far the most silver and gold filled I've used in one pendant ... Chrysocolla ( from Lori ), Opal triplet, and Ammolite ( awesome!!! ).... I still need to take more/better pics, but for now... Well, what do ya'll think?

Boy, I can't imagine what these style of wraps would cost to make in sterling. Nice job on them, I like #2 the best.

Very cool. You always come up with such inventive and unique wraps. I like that quartz crystal the best. Congrats on the ETSY sales. I haven't sold any through Bonanza but I also don't have a lot posted and haven't promoted my site a lot yet. I'm glad you didn't show any jasper cab wraps, gives the rest of us hope we have a chance in the competition.

Uh, well, come on now. That's not just a wrap, and it ain't even jewelry. We need a section for Art here, these are definitely works of art!!!!!!!!!

Thanks as always guys!!!! ;D Boy, I can't imagine what these style of wraps would cost to make in sterling. Nice job on them, I like #2 the best. Well, I was going to weigh the stones before I wrapped the last one to see exactly how much wire I used.... but I forgot , doh. I'm keeping this one so it dosen't really matter .... But I would guess around $40 dollars worth of wire in that one ( more $ in the stones ) , and it's small ( about 2" tall ). You need to post more often bud, I always enjoy seeing your work. Awesome stuff! I know Randy, It's just so hard to find the time... I'm on here pretty much every day, I usually just have time to read though... GoRGEOUS!!!! Chris, you're a pro, through and through! I love seeing your work!! Oh Dee, I'm just playing with wire... I wouldn't mind being a pro some day though, lol. Uh, well, come on now. That's not just a wrap, and it ain't even jewelry. We need a section for Art here, these are definitely works of art!!!!!!!!! :blush: :blush: Just fancy jewelry, lol.
