Wow! An absolutely stunning piece, miket!

Beautiful stone and the wrapping is perfect! Kudos to you! (bow-down)

I like it. I am starting to notice that the shaping of the innermost frame wire is mirroring the motion of the stone. I wish I had some stone with motion. But mine never went to dance classes. The bail is not overdone like is often seen by some other wire wrap poster on the RTH who is always botching things up by creating a mess of wire at the top. Like this one:

Seriously! Was this guy popping peyote buttons before he came up with this?!?! or what?

You are too funny, Bill! I like your creative bails. (laugh)

All I can think of when I see that bail is bismuth.

Sorry for the minor ninja-post, Mike.

I am glad that regulars spotted the picture in my response post as being one of my own work.

I actually thought about this in the morning today (when I was about to go online), and realized that it might not be obvious to the average forum guest that it was in fact my own work that I was making fun of! Which could be interpreted as "rude".

Good thing that I have a large documentary of my early works! I have lots of material to make fun of.
