At least that's what I think it is, I always get it and Graveyard Point mixed up. Anyway, here's today's wrap, thanks for looking!

Oh yes...yes...yes...yes!!! Gorgeous wrap Mike! I'd dare to say "elegant" on this one.  I dig the offset on the wires on the front...and I love what you did with the bail!!! (My guess is Graveyard Point Plume Agate....) |

(My guess is Graveyard Point Plume Agate....) Thanks Jason! I just got some gold wire in and thought it would look good with the colors in the agate. Still had a little bit of trouble getting the wires tight on the bottom point, but it's closer... |

Way to go, miket ! Absolutely gorgeous pendant.
Glad to see a creation out of you. It's been so long since you posted one. Thank you, ma'am! Kind of funny, I look through the cabs I've made and it's getting harder to find ones that I want to wrap...I think I need to make better cabs!  |

Very nice! And yes, Graveyard Point. Stinkingwater is usually either the pure white or the not so common white, black, red mix

Mike, I showed my wife your wrap and now she won't stop talking about the cab! She loves that material. She's asked me if I had gotten any of that material. I told her I had not. She asked, "Why not?" I'm not too sure I'm going to need to run this next purchase by her! LOL So, I thank you for opening the door for me to get some more rocks!   |

Going two-tone on that one was an excellent call. I'm liking that bail design, too. Great job!

Love it! And not just the stone, but the way you cabbed it. Plus the mix of gold bindings on the side helps the gold in the stone to really pop! That is my favorite part really. The bail accents at the top are all different and creative from one another, so I can tell that you are challenging yourself with every cab. Many don't try. Most stick to a simple formula and repeat it without trying to grow their art. Whereas you seem to be challenging yourself each time.

Oh, every single wrap I try to do is a challenge- but they're all pretty similar. That's what I like about yours, they're unique. But thanks for the compliments!

Thanks for the nice words, man! I push myself. Honestly though, some days it feels like I am pushing in the wrong dang direction ...  |
