I think it turned out well overall- the bottom wire holding the stone has a few minor nicks, and I had to bend in the side wires a little further than I would have liked to keep the stone secure. But I think that was due more to the way I cabbed it. Wrapping is teaching me more about how I should be shaping the stones. 😏 |

Beautiful piece, Mike. I think that the accent twists near the top are very elegant and well done. They are smooth and have no mars, almost as if this was dead soft wire.
Judging from the number of posts I am seeing in the wrapping forum, I would say that you have a new hobby on your hands here! I can't wait to see the others.

Thanks- I did the twists by hand instead of using my pliers, I think that's how I avoided the mars.  Yep, rockhounding, tumbling, cabbing, wrapping- all fairly new hobbies. I have a lot of catching up to do! |
