Well I finally picked up some wire and did a couple...Wooo Hooo...I feel a little rusty These are the first ones of a long way to go... This is a green moss agate...   This a lace agate...  And here is a quart mason jar full of cabs waiting to be finished in the vibe....Kinda like Fossilman's pickled wood jar...   Enjoy my friends....John |

Thanks for posting those, John, they look great! I need to get my butt back at it and get wrapping again. It's been awhile. Gonna have to breakdown and get some more wire. I think that's one of the reasons I quit, could not justify the price of silver, people don't want to pay for it, and I understand that. Will have to try something else, some kind of base-metal wire. It's just that nothing works like sterling silver or gold-filled. Jean

Ooh, I love that lace!! I like your jar, too, I have a bowl that's pretty similar.

No rust on those, you did a great job. Look at all those cabs! Best get to vibe-ing and wrapping.

Love them both, but the wrap on the lace is really sweet.
