I remains one of my favorite pieces. I LOVE the dendritic dolomite. I didn't cab it. The color is perfect with copper.

The wrap style highlights the dendrites so well.

I don't wire wrap and am not suited to it. It requires artistry. Give me a blank piece of paper and I'm lost. I have skill in photography which involves cropping a scene. Cabs is an extension. I let others make jewelry from my work. Your wrap is an extension of the pattern. Jewelry is very personal. The only thing that would explain that it hasn't sold is that a buyer is looking for a bolder statement to wear.

Thanks, Steven. But, cabbing does require artistry. When you frame up a stone for cabbing, that is an artistic endeavor. It may not be drawing or painting, but it does require some lapidary artistry.

It's quite nice. For the short time that I wire wrapped after I took the class, almost all of them went to Elizabeth to do the creative stuff with the bail and "fru-fru" wires at the top. We make a good team in that regard, and I may pick it back up someday.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Thanks.

I don't know what does it for me. But, I do love that stone.

Well, when you can't slab or work on tools anymore, you can always wire wrap. It's a low impact exercise.
