Mud with shells that is... This was a little custom piece for one of Eva's favorite clients. I thought i was going to give it a patina but we like it better bright. Gives the stone more pop. I spread out the bail wires after these pics were taken.   |

Tommy Very Nice! Need to see the back please............................................MrP Thanks! Sorry - it's already boxed up and on it's way to the post office. Eva had her hand outstretched for it and it was all I could do to get a couple of pictures taken. One day soon I will get serious about writing the tutorial - or shooting a video tutorial - and remove the mystery once and for all  For now I will say that the backbone style I developed was based loosely on this video. I have heard that there people have done similar styles over the years but I've never seen any of them in person or on the web. |

Looks dry to me. Gotta be dirt and I must say you are the best dirt polisher I have ever seen.
I have been wanting to see the back of one of your wraps because I have one stone that I have not been able to wrap and thought your method might work. Now I am quite sure it will work. Thanks for the link.
