Holy crud! Weird shape, shmeird shape. That cab is amazing. Fortifications AND speckles. That’s a definite two-fer (at least). Great wrap. I love the elegantly casual “flung breezily over the shoulder” look. Haha, thanks Stephan! The speckles are way easier to see in the picture.
And that's exactly the look I was going for... 
I already tore off the wrap, however.
I have a few findings laying around and I believe I have a cap that might worked glued to one end. That might actually look good, if I can find it in this mess I'll get a picture.
Please do not glue a cap on that beautiful cab, Mike. If you want, you can send it to me and I'll set it in Sterling for you and send it back. |

Mike, you're going to have to show me where to find Teepees colored like this one! (In fact, you might have to show me where to find Teepees period! LOL)

Here's a weird shaped Teepee that I wrapped today. I like the colors in this one and kept this shape to save the patterns. I'm wondering if the swirls are too much on this one? Thanks for looking!  I LOVE this stone. If it were me, I'd try and fancy a way to make a bracelet out of this with it going lengthwise across my wrist ) |

LOL) I'll tell you the same thing that a friend of mine tells me when I ask him where he finds his Fairburns...on the ground!  Someday I'll have to take you to all of my secret spots.

I have some funny shaped cabs like this too. It is always a challenge to figure out how to wrap them, since traditional techniques don't often work well enough to contain the stone within the wire. This stone is a stunner. And I think that there is a good balance between the amount of wire around it, to the size of the stone. The piece works well.
