Well I have been sick with a cold for just under a week now and am sick of being sick. I tried to do some wire wraps since I am just sitting around anyway. Maybe it wasn't a good idea..  I'm thinking of taking this one apart since it looks like crud to me and the side "prongs" seem to stick up and may catch on clothing.  The cab is one Woody made me in exchange for sending him some material from my Az travels. I thought it might be a combination agate jasper but I'm not sure. I made this one before I got sick so it looks better than the other one.  Aqua Terra Jasper that I bought in Quartzsite. Now I'm gonna go sulk in the corner and nurse my cold. Thanks for looking. |

Oh NO! Sorry you are sick. I am, too! And, I know just how you feel. I wanted to do some wrapping today and I haven't mustered the energy to do it. The first one looks fine to me.  You can always take the very tip of the prongs and turn them down. I've done that before and it worked well. The second is very nice, too. I know it's hard not to be discouraged when you feel like crap, but these really are better than you are thinking at the moment. |

Gosh must be going around, I'm sick too guys! Maybe I'll post some of my "sick week" wraps later today if I get some pictures taken, lots of energy to do that though... I hope everyone feels better soon! And I agree you could just try and turn those prongs down, it'll be okay Krista |

Good grief--it's crossed the country. I've had it since last Friday--just getting to the point where I'm not walking around with a tissue to my face most of the time.

Feel better and just enjoy the process for now. I think the idea is good with the first, but you may need to tweak it!

Thank you all. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. I'm still feeling like crud but thank goodness it hasn't gotten any worse.
I appreciate the well wishes and the nice comments on my wraps. I know I get the blues when I'm sick so I think I will just wait until I'm better to reevaluate that first wrap. I did try to bend the prongs a little more into the stone but something I did to them seems to have made them less bendable. Probably I worked the wire too much when I was bending them. Oh well, they might still be ok.
Thanks again to you all.
