Hi all, I'm new here and really love all the kindred souls, and all the shared

information. I'm interested in wire wrapping, and am trying to get to the point where I can wrap in the "heady" style but until that time comes, this is what I've been doing. Thanks for looking Scotty

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Nice job with your weaving. If you want to get an idea of how the heady wraps are constructed, buy one of Imnium's tutorials. Hers are not quite heady wraps, but they show the basic construction and layers that are used.

"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."

These are all really cool looking wraps! I like the weaves, and also the one where you combine more than one rock. I have wanted to do that once, but couldn't think of how. Great work, and thanks for sharing!

I would almost call those heady wraps. They are beautiful.
