Ohhhhhhhhhh no, drupe, you misunderstand. I don't mean that just that stone is called Enraptured Stones. I'm looking for a business name, like Susan uses Wyked Wyre, KD has KD's Creations and Sands has Cabojohn's.

I think I'd rather keep my name out of it, with my luck "Cher" would see it and try to sue me. ;D A gal on another forum came up with "Stone Wrapture", I'm liking it more by the minute.

Cher,
How long have you been doing wraps? I have been working a little with wirewrapping but can't seem to get something that has a flow. I am not using cabs, I'm just trying it with some of the rock I have. Maybe I am making hard for myself to start with stones having some very strange shapes. Or maybe it's just not my thing? Guess I will have to be still with that question. You are one talented lady. All names come to me with yours, but I understand what you are saying
Sally

I started playing with the wire about a year ago (Dec 04) but my first real wrap was in Feb or Mar of this year. Best I can tell you is to look at lots of pics, use some kind of practice wire until you learn the feel of it. Sometimes working with odd shaped stones is extremely hard. If you can find something you have that's sort of flat or thinner, it would be best to start with that. The shaped does make a big difference in the ease of wrapping. That along with the smooth finish can make things fly across the room sometimes. *smile* Well, maybe not across the room but smack to the table, then it's time to walk away for awhile. Just keep messing with the practice wire, try your swirls and things without even putting them on a rock.

LOL Stefan, I have to visit it, I own it and those Brats would be really ticked if I didn't show up to take care of their problems. I've decided one Stone Wrapture, I really like the way that sounds. I've "redecorated" my jewelry page on my site and listed this pendant there for now. I want to get a few more made then I'll put them all up on eBay at the same time. www.mnironrange.com/stone_wrapture.htmThanks for all your help and suggestions. |

Wow, very nicely done! I think it would work for a guy if it were strung on a piece of leather perhaps??
