I was gifted some incredible coral from JamesP {thank you James!} and some of it was tumbled. I took a break from cabbing and wrapped one of my favorite tumbled pieces - it's an incredible peachy color. Thanks for looking!  |

Absolutely beautiful! I really like the wire you chose, and of course the spirals (I'm s sucker for spirals).

Nice stone, I was gifted by James with some tumbles too. Your wrap is great. It looks liked mixed wire? The copper spiral really brings out the color in the gem. I like the twisted wire too.

Getting a hotel on the GA/FL line for 3 days to collect. Should be in the mid 70's and water temp is spring fed 72F. Headed for this little upland creek. The fossils are under 4-6 inches of sand in the creek. This spot has yellow and black coral. The wrap is super miander. You got a whole box of turn-key skills.  |

Can't wait to see more of your skills miander. You can cut stones and set them. You belong here. Lots of skill on this forum.
Stopped by that creek last time for a couple of hours as leaving Florida last time i went. It is
full of goodies. Had severe anxieties about getting back.Ha. Had to by some new waders, old ones leaked.

Sweet wrap, Sure is nice patterning, and I also like the contrasting wire and the twists. I must try to learn to wrap at some point.
