A dear friend of mine and fellow wire wrapper is writing a book for a major publisher. She needed a particular cab for a special piece, so I sent her a picture of the slab and let her choose what she wanted to be cabbed. It was a joint venture. WELL...... that piece made the cover of her book! She has also asked me to write the introduction to her book.  I can't wait to see the finished book. Right now, just the cover is being printed. It should be completed in a couple months. She does beautiful work- don't you think?  |

It's not for my taste. It is very well made. I like the symmetry of the very difficult wrap. I envy her skill.
I like the stone. It is very cool to write the intro. You should be excited. Congratulations.

What an honor. You deserve it though. Like someone else already mentioned obtaining symmetry on such an intricate piece is amazing to me.

Very nice. Is she doing the metal work and stamping too? Yup, she does it all. She has a rolling mill. |
