Thanks Walt-My bails need work. Trying to find the flow of a irregular stone is challenging.

I had trouble trying to wrap the irregular shapes. And the regular shapes. Just give it some repetition. Hopefully you'll stick with it, unlike me.

How many wires id you use? It may be easier if you add one or two. I think you did a fine job with those irregular shapes. The crystal point came out especially well. They aren't easy to do. I want to point out a tip- only because you asked. In the second picture, there is a wire poking at at about 2 oclock. Make sure to ALWAYS file those ends and make sure it is pointing in towards the stone. That wire will scratch and snag. Practice will make perfect. You are starting on the hardest wraps. Once you go to using cabs and using wire bundles, it will be much easier.  |

Thank you Tela. So far I've just been using 1 wire. I think I need to go to a smaller gauge with some of them. I like the Tigers eye, but do need to fix that wire.

Great wraps. Like rockjunquie said just watch the ends. Practice practice practice, thats my tip. Thank you for sharing.
