Finished these last night. Trying out a new braided wire on the moss agate. The picture of my set up is for aDave .
Dino bone
A really killer moss agate. The subsurface is all sparkle.  |

Great job rockjunquie! The wraps look clean and straight, and the stones look shiny and well shaped. Overall, they look great. 👏 |

You do such perfectly neat work, Tela! Clean lines all around and not a bit of excess. The shape and wrap of the dino bone are excellent and the braid of the moss adds a nice touch to the design without distracting at all from the front.

Great cabs and wraps Tela. I like how you
improvise on your wraps. For instance, in
the first one I love the "wide" bindings
on the corners. On the second one I like
how you incorporated the weaved wire on
the sides, and with the attached bail.
Thanks for showing your photo setup. When
you first mentioned it and seeing how
great your pictures came out I ordered the
same set, since almost all of my pictures
come out out of focus. Thanks!

I think I have one or two preforms left. Beautiful! I like the braided wire, that looks nice!  Thanks, Mike- Me too. I'm not crazy about working with it, but for the right job, it's manageable. It's very soft and since it is really a woven tube of fine wire sqooshed flat it wants to roll. Great cabs and wraps Tela. I like how you improvise on your wraps.

I'm really flattered that you took my recommendation with the camera set up. Do you like it? I hope it does work out for you. I like that it's quick to set up and small.
Love the braided sides on the moss agate. It is perfect. Thank you. I really love the patina on it. |

Absolutely fabulous Tela...every single one of them! That braided wire is stunning! It really makes it look like a setting versus a wrap! |

I know I've only been here a few months, but these last couple rounds of wraps, especially with the copper, are hard to beat Tela. I honestly don't know how you do it.

I haven't received it yet Tela. It should be here Friday, I can't wait to try it out. I was going through all my rock tumbles and every one is out of focus; I can't keep from moving the camera it seems. |

Thanks Robin, but don't go though a lot of trouble on my account. It's enough that you appreciate it, too. |
