After my last disaster (following instructions for a "traditional" cab), I decided to try this again my way *disaster awaits*

I once again used craft wire as I can't get the hang of the half round wire for binding (I can't get it to lay side by side nicely). I'm not sure what the stone is either, but I like it A-Lot! i really need to graduate to better wire - I find sterling silver doesn't have much shine once it,s worked
Here's the front

Here's the back (yes that's a hole) - kinda looks like a screaming mouth from the side!

If anyone can give me tips with the half round wire, it'd be much appreciated - I think I need wire thats wider than high

Thanks for looking

Sorry, can't help you with your wire. Stone looks like local quartz? or agate?

You will get the hang of it. It just takes time.

I'll drop you a note tomorrow with what I can tell you about using the half-round. It's really not hard to work with once you get it started. Cher

tweetie i bought some "connoisseurs jewelry wipes" from jewelry supply that i use to clean my wraps. it cleans silver, gold, gemstones, and costume jewelry. it has a pop up top and you pull out a small dry disposable wipe.

your wrap looks good. keep at it!

I have been trying my hand at wrapping and yours are gorgeous compared to anything I have done. I like the back - very neat. Mine look like a wire scrap heap.
