A friend gave me a bunch of stones he cabbed to wrap and I finally got them done (after a week). Susan, you are next  If you're interested here they are... He did the stones, I just wrapped em. But it kept me out of trouble for a while and I didn't get to play on my Genie until I was done. (Self enforced, self discipline)        We worked out a trade, and I am glad to be done and out from under obligation.  It's good to finish a project like this. Thanks for looking, as usual.  ? |

I agree, you are the wrapping King! I am totally amazed at the first one, it doesn't look like there's enough to hold it in place. You are soooooo talented!! I wish I lived closer to you so you could give me a few lessons. Beautiful work Mike, absolutely beautiful! Your friend will no doubt be very pleased and want more.

Banjo, these are beautiful. I've just begun doing wirewrapping and have finished 4 pieces, but I can see it's going to take lots of practice to come close to what you have here. You are an inspiration to me. Thanks for showing them.

You know Banjo, those are really horrible, you should send them all to me wrapped like that so I can do something else to them, just don't expect to see them again *hopes Banjo knows that I am kidding about them being horrible but hopes he got the hint about him sending them to me* |

Banjo - I can't wait to see John's cabs wrapped. I'm giving my sister the triangular goldstone pendant you did for her 50th birthday, and I need a Banjowrap to call my own. Post pics for us all, and let me know before you mail them, 'cuz I'd like to pick up some more picture jasper from you, too.. I'm gonna be in Az over Memorial Weekend, and plan to go to the Bagdad area. Could you point me towards some agate? PEACE.  S |

Banjo, those are absolutely perfect! I like yours better than any of the high priced ones I have seen on different sites that want $200 or more for them. Hope you don't mind, I printed out your pictures to give me something to practice from. They are just so elegant!

Well Banjo what can I say??
You've got the "touch" man!!
Great job!!
Where did you find the Morrisonite Jasper??
I have a few very small pieces but can't afford the $110.00/lb for the good stuff!!
Thanks,,,,,,,

Connroc- I wrapped these for a friend, so the stones are all his. He has access to quite a variety of stuff, but not a large amount of Morrisonite. He has 20 tons of rock in his backyard all bought from an old geezer who was into rocks from the '50's'. The whole inventory was moved to his backyard in dump trucks and dumped. This is the source of my supply. So, he actually just goes out in his backyard and finds some  Here’s a pic of his yard with the whole rock inventory dumped. All cool rocks I might add.  It makes for interesting rock hounding. That’s why I have about 3,000 pounds of rock on my porch, repeated trips to his place collecting |
