Nothing too exciting but I thought I would share anyway. This is about as close as I will get to a fall themed wire wrap (sorry rockjunquie). I thought the colors of the birdseye rhyolite and the aged copper gave it a bit of a fall feel though.    Not sure where I got this slab of mossy stuff.    I think this one is jasper and hematite. It cabbed just like the banded Jasper/hematite I have done only it is speckled instead of banded.  This bail photo makes me happy   Thanks for looking Chuck |

Nice. I have not cut anything for fall yet.
Maybe I need to take a day off.

All three are nice Fall colors! I love the last one- I have been on a serious red stone kick. That cab is a stunner and, as usual, your groove wrap takes nothing from it.  |

I think bright silver takes away from the "fall" look on the red one but I really like it in the close up shot of the bail and groove on that one. Chuck |

How do you make those tight swirls on the front?

Nice work on all of them. The first one definitely has a fall look to it. I'm with rockjunquie on the last one being a stunner.

How do you make those tight swirls on the front? I use a pair of tight swirl makers  A pair of round tapered nose piers and a wee bit of practice. I ended up just cutting a bunch of 3" long sections of wire and practiced different swirls to figure out what length I needed to leave for what size swirl etc...  I'll try to make a quick video when I get back from up north. Chuck |
