One of the things I like about stones with solid color is they make a great back drop for wire. When I got this phosphosiderite, which is my first, I knew I wanted something to play off the color. I really fussed with this wrap and I was so happy it came together well. Between my being off a hair and the cut being a hair off, the wrap is a little off, but I can live it.

The little carrisite was done with 22g r. I need more practice working with 22 and smaller stones!

Thanks for looking, y'all.

Thank you

Randy, various sizes of pliers

Hub, so cool you noticed that bigger wire. I don't often do it, but it's fun sometimes.

Yeah, the purple piece is off a little, but not too much.

Jim, thank you, but seriously, I don't use 22 much, so it feels really weird to me to wrap small.

I can't even tell where that wrap is "off". Remember if you don't mind it don't matter...;-) That second one is definitely interesting. You come up with the most creative ideas for wraps. WTG.

Then I saw the second one--speechless!

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)
