Can't get any cabbing done with winter being back in full swing, so I got a little wrapping done. gorgeous Morenci chrysocolla  blonde bruno  atlantisite- this one is messed up. I got the bail off center and never noticed till I was done- it's staying that way.  pretty imperial red spiderweb  Thanks for looking- think I'll wrap some more tonight. Calling for snow.  |

Pardon my drool  Those are wonderful. I really like the blonde Bruno, never seen that material looking like that before. Very cool. I like how you did the wrap on the atlantisite even if you say the bail is off center - can't tell from here. |

Your off=center bail on the Atlantisite is imperceptable- Kudos on not just the wrap, but also the photo skills to make a flaw disappear. It's beautiful! As are all the others.

Thanks, but it wasn't a deliberate deception. I take 5 pics of my pieces. One front, to the left, to the right, on a model and in the hand. This one just happened to look the best.  |

All are really nice wraps but the shape of that last cab catches my eye. Your atlantisite cab is great. That stuff is so soft and crumbly it makes me nervous.

All are just beautiful. I like the
Last one best. The wrap is simple and
Enhances the stone perfectly. That cute little curl in the front, gives the piece a simple but playful personality.

Great set. I really like the imperial, but I'm intrigued by the rectangular one. I imagine it's a difficult shape.
Peace,

Peace, Rich Hi Rich, that shape is easier with a harder stone, but in general, it is much easier than a square or true rectangle because of the curved ends. I really didn't have any trouble with it... other than with the softness of atlantisite. |

I love these. All of them. ('cept the atlantisite; for some reason atlantisite doesn't flip my switch, but that's my problem!) Nothing to do with your wrapping they're all wonderful!

That chrysocolla is incredible. It can be a murky green to the color you have. I've never seen one quite that stunning. Great wraps!
