Are you sure this is a Teepee? It looks more like a Crazy Lace cousin...

That stone is amazing, miket! You wrapped it beautifully. I love it.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Thank you, ma'am!

There are a few of my signature imperfections, of course...and a small crack in the top 1/3 of the cab.

But you know I love Teepees and the cab was a bit unique so I wanted to wrap it.

I stand entirely corrected! (Technically, I'm sitting at the moment. LOL)

I really like how you set the fortifications on this one. I really have a tendency to center the fortifications and they're always "in your face" in the cab. I like how they're a subtle addition to this one. I LIKE it!

Thanks for posting that link. I haven't seen that thread in awhile.

Like I mentioned, I suck at ID's- if I just saw this cab there was no way I would have said Teepee. There are so many fortification agates that look alike, but that's been discussed in another thread!

Thanks for the compliment but I can't entirely take credit for the placement of the design. These slabs were really fragile and dictated what I could do with them

You nailed it! I'd say the wires and the stone conspired to make you create a great wire wrap pendant. Sometimes it just all works out.
