Hi All,

It has been just over a year since I really began to practice doing wire wrapping. I have to say thank you to all the RTH'ers who post tutorials, pictures, and comments on wire wrapping. I have learned a great deal from ya'all.

Here are three of my newest wraps:

A wonderful personal find from the Chain of Rocks Gravel Bar in the Mississippi River, this tumble polished piece of petrified wood is packed with character. Wrapped in titanium wire.

Rock and mineral show find that I wrapped in bronze wire.

I'm not sure what this stone is but, it cabbed nice and the colors have a nice interplay.

All the best,
Michael

And these are darn pretty.

I love the first one! The bronze looks really good, too. If these are your first, I'm doubly impressed. Thank you for coming out of the shadows to post these. I love seeing what other people are doing.

I'd say that ammonite is my favorite.

I'll try to post more often. I do like to share, just finding the time can be tough.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
