Sometimes life let's you have a do-over... Sometimes.  This is a nice piece of Indonesian Palm Root from rockjunquie that I wrapped when I first began. I really, really, really like this stone so I decided to rewrap it. Before and after pics, hopefully it's an improvement, thanks for looking!   |

That is the perfect way to see your progress. Same stone, but now it looks 1,000 times better. Well done!
I like the silver with that stone better, too.  |

I like the silver with that stone better, too. Thanks Robin, I appreciate the compliment! I'm still liking the silver better. Copper works ok with some stones, but I think silver shows this one off a little better, too. |

I think it is a major improvement and shows how far you have come since you started. I really like the bindings around the sides. They really pop.

Definitely an improvement in wrapping. I'd say you are getting the hang of wrapping. Well done!

Awwww someone noticed. Thank you. No, you all are great, but I figured I hadn't changed my avatar since Mar 8, 2012 and it was about time. I'm getting older and greyerer. |

Don't think you are only one Tela. They call us old guys silver boars(or is it silver fox ?). In my case a boar.
2012 had mostly brown. Not now lol. My beautiful 20 year old niece went off and dyed her hair grey; what's w/that ?!
