I've collected rocks my whole life, just as a hobby! My husband and I have tumbled several of them. We are both retired and I have made it one of my wishes that when I pass the rocks are put out at my memorial service for anyone that would like one to take home with them. But, in the meantime I would like to take a couple of my special ones and learn how to wire wrap them to make a few pendants. I'm hoping to get some ideas and instructions on how to make some. Thank You in advance.

Welcome to the forum from South Dakota!  I hope your "preparations" are a LONG way off!  There was a member on the forum who passed away a few years ago. He was jakesrocks. He was the resident Fairburn Agate guru. I know he wrote he was going to be buried with his prized Fairburns...and I'm pretty sure he was! |

Welcome from VA. A really great book for learning traditional wire wrapping is Ed Sinclair's Moods in Wire. He has instructions for wrapping tumbled stones (odd shapes). It's called a "cage".
