I showed a client some new cabs and she snapped them up to be wrapped.  (The parrot wing was not a custom piece, but the 4 others are.) Works for me. The Sonora swings on a bail. Since it has that weird shape, I thought that best. The yellow calcite was a weird shape, too. It was terribly off center, so I tried to mask that. yellow-calcite-pendant-sterling-silver-wire-wrapped-tela-formosa (4):  yellow-orange-montana-agate-pendant-sterlin-silver-tela-formosa (3):  parrot-wing-chrysocolla-pendant-sterling-silver-tela-formosa (2):  rhodonite-pendant-beaded-wire-wrapped-sterling-silver-tela-formosa (3):  sonora-sunrise-pendant-large-wire-wrapped-sterling-silver-tela-formosa (4):  |

Yeah, some awesome wraps. I love how you keep the wire, even the fancy stuff, from obscuring the stone.

Naturally, the montana is my favorite of the bunch. But all are excellent. Nice clean work all round.

Those are all really nice. The Montana was probably your least difficult but still my favorite. I am not a big fan of beads but they are a great addition to that rhodonite.

Awesome work. I can't pick a favorite. I really like how you masked the off sided cabs. I can't even tell the yellow one was odd shaped. The composition in that piece draws the eye so you see the piece as a whole not just the cab.

The composition in that piece draws the eye so you see the piece as a whole not just the cab. Thanks! It took a little thought. Ordinarily, I wouldn't choose to wrap these, but these are what the client wanted. Actually, she picked a different one than the yellow one, she liked it, but she chose something for her sister instead. |

Yeah I forgot how difficult it is to get the prongs the same length and to get symmetry from side to side too. Looks easier then it actually is. Chuck |

Absolutely gorgeous! The stones are main attraction as they should be and not covered in 50 feet of wire like many wrapper do thinking they are showcasing their skills. I'm firmly in the "less is more" camp for wrapping

Wow, I really like how you are incorporating the swinging bail with your wraps. I like the extra movement in a piece. Great idea!
