Thank you, Jason. I think our design sense is a lot different so no worries there. I haven't done any wrapping in a while. I'm kinda in a slump. I made the comment to another member via PM, that while I was perusing the old wire wrapping threads, I see a lot of people who used to post frequently just don't seem to do so much anymore. I'm sorry you're in a slump. It really sucks when life gets a person in a rut...but just know I really do believe your wraps epitomize elegance and are truly some of the most aesthetically pleasing wraps I've seen.  Diane drocknut still posts though not as often. She travels a lot. I'll be back in the saddle again. Can't wait to start cabbing everyday. That's what I really miss. Got a new 1200 wheel to put on. That should make things easier, too.

I haven't traveled as much this year as years past. I too am in a bit of a slump. I have been fighting an infection in my sinuses since before PowWow and it's been kicking my butt. I got no energy plus I feel so cruddy I don't even want to look at my cabs let alone wrap one. Hopefully the doctors will figure it out and I'll be back to wrapping and feeling better soon. |

Oh that doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully, they can sort it out. |

Diane, I'm sorry to hear this. I too hope they are able to figure that out. Several years ago, my wife became very ill for almost a year. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. It was a very scary, stressful, and emotional time. Thoughts and prayers headed your way!  |

I think that you are starting to develop a more free and easy style which has probably come from repetition. I am hoping for this some day too. You are taking more chances and also letting your imagination guide you on every one. This is great.
A couple of them have challenging symmetry to them (like #2 and #4) and you did a good job of carrying over the bail accents to both sides.
The material is mind blowing. But I just focus on the wraps. You might want to consider splitting the bail a little bit wider on some of your future tries. I find that if the bail is narrow (like two wires next to each other and not split apart), then the pendant has a tendancy to run back and forth across the necklace chain. This is something the elders here told me about very early on. Just a suggestion in case someone has not mentioned it yet.

I will correct the ones I've done and will make sure to pay attention to this on future bunny ears! |

It was a very scary, stressful, and emotional time. Thoughts and prayers headed your way! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. The Ear, Nose, Throat Specialist did a CT scan and said that one of my sinus passages is blocked so there is a fungal infection in there that can't get out. It needs to have a minor surgical procedure to unblock the sinus and get it cleaned out. Right now I'm waiting on approval from insurance to have it done. In the meantime I'm still not feeling well at all. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the approval. I hope your wife is feeling better now. |
