I'm working on getting better wire, this beading stuff really bites!! but until then, here are 3 more that I did!! Tiger eye  Agate  Ruby w/Zoisite - This is a double sided cab so I made the wrap the same on both sides, even the curl, which is horrible. but you can wear either side out which is cool!  |

I definitely have to work on the thin wire wrapping along the edges, its a pain to keep tight!

You've done everything correctly, looks good! To get it tighter you just need better wire. Half-round makes all the difference when doing to binds. Also, square wire for the main part of the wrap does better for me, though I've seen a few people do amazing stuff with the round. You've got the knack for this, so keep'm coming!  |

I agree with Randy ...The wire really made a difference in my wrapping....If you have a Hobby Lobby or Michaels close by ,they have the square and 1/2 round....Good Job....John

Ayuh... what Randy said. great looking cabs and wraps. The round wire gives me such fits I quit using it.

Randy is right on this!!! He tipped me off to the half round and square when I first started and it really is what made the difference for me! Your designs are there, but the wire is really the problem for you! Keep getting them out till you can get better stuff and get pictures of everything you do! These designs with good wire are going to be incredible!!! Enjoy!!!!!
