Same style, different day!  The first is what I believe to be Laguna Lace done in round wire. Unfortunately the cab has a crack but I decided to wrap it anyway because I like the colors and patterns in the stone. Next is of course a Teepee Canyon Agate wrapped with square wire. I'm still preferring square. Easier for me to work with. Thanks for looking!   |

Not bored.  I like the first one a lot. It has a nice flow and I like the stone. |

Those both look great. I often notice problems after taking 100 or so shots of a piece then I have to tweak it and take 100 more shots...it's a vicious cycle...lol.
Do you use painter's tape to hold the wires, might help with the round wire more than the square but works for both.

I actually do use painter's tape, and you're right, it does work with both. It helps to keep me in line. |

Not bored, either.
Both of these are really, really nice, Mike! The first one the shape of the stone and the flow of the wire is really good. Nice stone -- I don't see the crack.
The Teepee is also awesome. Love how you got the fortification pattern centered in the middle of the stone.
Awesome job on both of them and look at how nice and tight those binding wires are!  |

You will make less in wire wrapping as you do it. Keeping you in line??? hmmm, sounds like you are taping more than the wires...LOL. |
