I was home with a bug today and decided to make a wrap for my grandmother's 101'st birthday. The stone is a Spencer Opal. It isn't a great stone, but it flashes a lot nicer than my photography skill could capture.

I wish the stone was nicer, this is probably the best wrap I have done lol.

In sunlight

Indoor light

Back - I am still trying to find a solid, consistent way to finish out the backs.

I really like how this one came out. The funny part to me is; this wrap only took ~35 minutes. Most take me an hour or more. I have no idea why this one went so smoothly, but I hope more do

Very nice, Roger! I think you must have gotten into the groove when you were working on this.

I think it looks great! Shame that opal is so hard to photograph. I have some really nice ones that I have never been able to get a good picture of. The back looks neat to me.

Happy birthday, Roger's mom! 101!!! Now that's awesome! (mario)

I have never been consistent in how i finish the backs of my wraps, for me it depends on the wrap, the stone, how I feel, or all of those factors. The way you did this one looks fine to me.

It should be interesting, I have never even purchased a bead before lol

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
