I squeezed in a few more to "wrap" up 2013.

Here's the back story to this one: My son started trying to wrap a teardrop cab of picture jasper and gave up because he had made the first set of bends too large and they went to far into the center of the stone (and he set his tape was not holding too). I kinda of agreed so I swapped out his picture jasper for this opal wood cab and just pulled all his wires to the top and put the bail on it. I give him credit for the nice tight bottom bindings and he did get the first set of bends nice and even on all sides.

I found enough silver wire to get these next two done

Thanks for looking and Happy New Year everyone!
Chuck

I especially like the first one. That wrap goes perfectly with the stone.

I also like how the swirl in the last one mirrors the pattern in the lace. I like the middle one too. Rich
