Like many of you, I've been wrapping like crazy for the holidays. In addition, I have done a great barter with djaxon (if anyone remembers the recent thread about that barter). He sent me some beautiful cabs for myself. Then he added four extra ones for me to wrap.
I took pics quickly by my lamp instead of waiting till morning for daylight, so i apologize for that..
This first one is my favorite. The stone is just so beautiful. He asked for copper wire on this one and it was a great choice. I took the pic quickly by my lamp instead of waiting till daylight to take a better pic, so the stone is even more beautiful than it is in this pic.
This one he asked for copper wire as well, and I included some swirls for something different.
The next one is shown in copper but Don requested the stone to be in sterling silver. This was my practice design as I forgot to take a pic of the final one in sterling, grrr..
So this is not perfect at all (I had changed my mind on the binding at the bottom so that is all messed up but it was practice, so oh well) But this is pretty much what the final piece looked like, except in sterling:
The next is a beautiful cab in sterling silver..I took a pic before I fixed the crooked wire on the bail..
It was so fun to do and Don was very happy, which in turn made me very happy. I am beyond excited to wrap the rest of his cabs and post pics. For that matter, I now have a great selection of cabs from him as well as Chuck (Drummond Island Rocks) that I am wrapping, too. I might start another post for my wraps of Chucks stones...
Anyway, hope you like them..
