Thank you both, very much! I think I definitely do my wraps differently than most, but I also work with tumbled stones instead of cabs.
Also, my fingers did hurt a bit after a week of nothing but wrapping, but now its mostly nail destruction!

What a smorgasbord!! You definitely have some nice wraps there! Doing those odd shapes is difficult, but you managed quite beautifully.  |

Nice set, I especially like #6, it looks like a gift-wrapped package.

Excellent wraps! Nice to see someone else dip into the 'dark side', lol.

What fun! Cool to see all those pretty tumbled stones put to a most excellent use (my best sit in a crystal bowl on my dining room table). |

Those are incredible. The woven sequences are like yarn designs. I was thinking sore fingers too.
But mind challenging to make those complex patterns and weaves. Great pieces.

Thank you all! I actually almost prefer wrapping these instead of cabs, maybe because it really makes me think about what I'm going to do to both secure the stone and make it look nice without being too over the top. That and my cabs never come out perfect enough for me!
I've been playing with a lot of different sizes, but mostly 20 or 21 gauge for the base wires, and 26 or 28 for the weaves.
I ordered some liver of sulphur and more copper wire last night, and I'm so excited to add pantina to some pieces I have waiting!
