I don't post a lot any more, but just wanted to show you guys my new *thing* lolol I have been mulling this over for about a month now.....trying to figure out how to make it work the way I wanted. It was a lot of work, and very tedious, but finally it is finished after several hours of "figuring it out" . The Idea still has some tweaking of design to do, which I will eventually figure out, but for now...here is this one. Mexican Crazy Lace - cut, cabbed, & wrapped by me Wrapped in 20 & 30 gauge silver fill      Rough Crazy Lace from Peachfront Thanks for lookin' ! Marie |

Beautiful Marie! I have one question... How is the stone held into place? Are you using a solid backing and attaching the wire to that?

Marie, that's incredible! I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how you did this! Did you wrap the grooved wire too, building the outer piece from the base groove?

I love how you cut that nice material - a cab after my own heart! And that wire-work is insane - love it!

Incredible!!!! I have done something similar, but not with a groove, it's tough enough without the groove- you are truly the Master- This is outstanding in every way and really highlights your talents!
