The first is a tumbled rose quartz I got from someone. I've been wanting to wrap it, since it's almost in a heart shape. It is really thick on the bottom and quite thin on the top, however, so it was hard to secure it fully onto the bottom of the wrap. It's very slippery, too, because of the polishing and the strange shape, so while it won't come out of the wrap, it wiggles around a bit.
I also misjudged the amount of wire, I wanted to use more wire to get the curls longer and down further. I was inspired to do the curls because they resembled my bangs (I have some that are to my cheekbone) when I dry my hair with a round brush. I know I'm weird. I've always liked Jaclyn Smith's hair in Charlie's Angles so I try to do my hair like that, and also my wraps.
Here is an unknown agate, in 14k gold filled, 22 ga. from drocknut's cabs she sent me:
Here's another unknown agate from drocknut. I really am enjoying wrapping these cabs! I meant to even out the side bindings - the left one slipped up a bit - but took the pics and uploaded them without doing that…grr…and I'm too lazy to do the process over again...
The first and third are in silver-filled square, I believe 21 ga. because Rio for some reason didn't have 22 ga. Not the best pic quality, I know. The last one was more dome-shaped, that's why the swirl-prongs at the bottom don't look flat. Anyway, I hope you like them!
