Hello everyone! All pieces were cut and cabbed by myself along with the wire wrapping as well! Thanks for looking.

Labradorite that I cabbed up wrapped in copper!

Kaleidoscope Jasper wrapped in silver-plated copper!

Indian Blanket Jasper in copper!

One of my more expensive pieces, a 5.46 carat Lightning Ridge Opal wrapped in silver-plated copper!

Kaleidoscope Jasper in silver-plated!

Finally, some crazy lace agate in silver-plated!

Thanks again for looking, everyone! All feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated. There are so many AMAZING wire wrappers out there that blow me out of the water, but I am trying!

First - I love your stones- esp that opal. You did the opal, too? I think your wraps look great, too. My only complaints are small things that get better the more practice you get. I like that you are trying different things.

I'm with rockjunquie that is a sweet opal. My favorite wrap-wise is the crazy lace, great job.

The opal is the only stone I did not cut! That one I got an amazing deal on, so I could not pass it up! Yes, I am still working on those tiny details where it could just be much cleaner! Thanks so much for the compliment!

Nice job on the stones and the wraps. Like rockjunquie said, the little details get better with experience. Try concentrating on a tighter wrap -- i.e., all your wraps being even and the same and that will clean them up for you. You're doing a great job!

P.S. That opal rocks!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
