I reread what I posted and thought you might think I was singling you out. I wasn't, I was just thinking it would be fun if you were in the Cave. |

The package is on the way to you drocknut . I did my best to sterilize things - especially my hands before packaging it all. I didn't open individual cab bags since I got the package a few weeks ago so I kept my contact with all of that to a bare minimum of wrapping it in bubble wrap. I only took out the stone I wrapped and so I replaced it with this sanitized Rocky Butte cab:  Enjoy the pendant! I'm not very happy about how it turned out for all the reasons stated earlier and I'm feeling quite vulnerable for putting it out into the world so ...  |

We are our own worst critics.  Glad you're feeling better. |

Here's the pictures of Tommy's wire wrap. Front and back. I think it's wonderful and Tommy is being too hard on himself. Please help me convince him that it is indeed a beautiful and well done wrap.   |

Unique, and well-executed. (Scratches head to try to figure out what Tommy was dissatisfied with).

Thanks all, I know y'all want to make me feel better but yeah, there are lots of flubs that I could point out. As long as Diane likes it that's all that matters right?  liveoak - to answer your question Tela said in this post it was supposed to be Mohawkite but it looks more like Josephine's Crown and I agree with her on this. |

I figured you were joking about a rock called "Josephine's Crown" - but sure enough I looked it up.

Back on subject, in regards to the prong wrap style, I have created an extensive tutorial on it that I plan on publishing on the new rocktumbling.com website at some point in the months ahead. If anyone wants an advance .PDF copy of it please let me know via PM and I'll hook you up with that.
