So, I tried to add a piece of wire in the bottom binding. I know this will be too much wire on the front of the cab for some people, but it's the first time I tried this...and I kind of like the effect. The cab is some kind of Jasper (I believe) that I find quite frequently around here in South Dakota.  |

Thanks Walt!  This kind of gives me an idea for some future wraps, but we'll see if it works out or not. |

Might not work with a busier stone, but it’s well-done and looks good with this one. In general, I’m of the less-is-more persuasion, but I appreciate the artistic effect, and know several people who would snap that up in a hot second.

I think I'm getting a little better about choosing which stone can accept a greater amount of lipstick and rouge! (Not always...but getting better. LOL) |

I hope you’re not calling that cab a pig. It will stand on its own quite well, too.

I like when cabs with few/no patterns are wrapped in this style.
It can bring a not so spectacular cab to something special.

Looks nice, Jason. I agree that sometimes less is more, but on this stone the wire, even the color, work so well.

I was going to pick a different cab to try this with, but opted for this one. The other had pattern on it, so I didn't want any conflict. Looks nice, Jason. I agree that sometimes less is more, but on this stone the wire, even the color, work so well. Thanks Tela! In the future, I probably won't do this with a stone as small as this one. I think it would look better on a stone with a little more room on the dome. |

I like it, too, Jason. I'm wondering how it would look with the curls on the bottom and no curls on the top- just the swoops? Regardless, I think this works well with the cab and copper was a great choice for color. |

Agree with everyone above.  Late to the party on this one.
These types of stones are also good for doing Tree of Life wraps on.

Regardless, I think this works well with the cab and copper was a great choice for color. Thanks Mike! I thought about doing just the bottom curls, but went all-out on it anyway! LOL - I'm going to try a couple different variations with this and see what happens. Looks nice, Jason. I agree that sometimes less is more, but on this stone the wire, even the color, work so well. Yes, I forgot to mention that copper was a great choice for this one. Thanks for the reminder. One of these days I will finish passing that brain stone. Thanks Tela! It was either copper...or copper for this one! LOL - I'm low on silver and just haven't ordered any just yet...something I need to do this week. (It would've been copper even if I did have silver though.  ) Agree with everyone above. Late to the party on this one.

Thanks Robin! Don't worry about being late...it's a great way to make a grand entrance...and the party never stops! Totally agree with the Tree of Life possibility. I actually have a Vesuvianite cab sitting to the side just waiting for exactly the Tree of Life wrap...just another one on the "to-do" list. |

Tree of life wraps are really fun. I think you'll enjoy doing them.
