Tried wrapping again It's too loose and I know a tad sloppy. The stone is in there but shifts But holy cow, it's not bad! Stone is tumbled Queensland agate    |

I think it looks nice.  If you are worried abt it being loose, it looks like you can squish in tighter with your fingers. |

Beautiful stone and I like the way you have the stone in a wire "basket". You're trying a hard wrap here & doing well.

I've been giving wrapping a try lately funny I tried the exact same style as you but didn't turn out as good as your's. Keep it up it will come.

I think it turned out really nice. With the color of the stone I think a LOS patina would really set it off nicely!

Very nice! Far better than any kind of actual wire wrapping than I could accomplish on my best day.

Nice job wrapping a tumbled stone. That's hard to do. I think it looks great. A little tweaking and it will fit nice and tight I'm sure.
