The red striped wrap was a custom order and while I had all the tools out I went ahead and wrapped up the lace agate just for fun. Thanks for looking Chuck

Nice! Your wraps just keep getting neater and neater. How ya liking that silver now? My fav wire to work with is gold filled, but it's so expensive for me to use. I do have a small amount for a special project in the works, though.

How ya liking that silver now? Thanks Tela. The silver is real nice. Still trying to get the hang of the dead soft and the tumbling part. I am using 20 gauge square and the single wire swirl on the lace shown here is pretty delicate in dead soft. I am hoping it gains some rigidity after tumbling. Chuck

Red stripe - there it is. Looks awesome. Both wraps really compliment the stone. The swirl lays perfect.

Those look great. I wouldn't worry about the swirl being delicate, dead soft work hardens and if you are also going to tumble it then it should be fine. I haven't tumbled any of mine, used dead soft, and haven't had a problem with it.
