Just love those wraps, simple yet elegant. I really like the way the stone remains the focus of each piece with the wire accentuating it. That top shelf work!!

Love them all, but the Imperial Jasper is off the charts for me!

Great work, Tela! Loving them all, but especially the cab of Hells's Canyon, and the simple wrap on the Kokoweef. You are the cabbing and wire wrapping goddess. I bow before you!  ETA - I am only the Queen of Cheap Thrifty, and locating the good deals, lol! You, on the the other hand have Mad Skilz! I think goddess trumps queens. |

Seriously? Naww... Coming from you, that is more than just a compliment.
I have one I started some time ago, it is out where I walk by and see it every day. Thought about picking it up and finishing it. But that was as far as I got, lol.
Then there's the one botryoidal coral tumble jamesp sent to me that I wrapped. Over-wrapped, actually. It was not my style when I did it, it still isn't. Too big, too heavy... Making plans in my mind for taking it apart and re-wrapping it. Will let ya know how that goes! |

Beautiful work Tela, all of them are stunning. The Hell's canyon is awesome. Love all the wraps they complement each stone.

The stones are especially nice but the wraps are out of this world. My favorite is the cave onyx.

I really like them all. What I like about this group is the simplicity of the wraps. To me, simple is the only way to go so that the beautiful stone can be seen and enjoyed without seeing it as gaudy jewelry. Thank you so much for your sharing!

All beauties but I'd say that cave onyx is my favorite and I don't generally like onyx. The wrap just fits with the cab so well on that one that it stands out to me.

Another superb set, the red jasper really pops, but they're all beautiful.
Peace,

Thanks a lot everyone. Every time I take a break from wrapping, I'm afraid I forgot something. LOL! It's good to get feedback. I did the hells canyon twice. The first one I messed up so bad that I had to put all the silver in the recycle bottle. Doesn't happen too often, but it certainly does happen. |

Superb workmanship on both, the cabs and your wraps.
Love the clean simplicity of your wrapps.
A lot of wraps I see these days are too elaborate and hence look too busy for my taste.
Hells canyon and the Montana is/are my favorite combos here.

Trying to figure out how you did the Hell's Canyon bail. Can't.
Well, you must have done this for 10,000 hours because you are such an expert wrapper. Isn't that what they say, it takes 10,000 hours to truly master a craft?
Gorgeous work on all. Thank you for posting.
