Looks to me like you saved the best for last- but, damn, those are fine.  |

Beautiful pieces, Jason!
#3 is your best: that 4-wire swoop says, "Hey, why are you looking up here? C'mon back down to the main show!" It's an effective way to create visual interest and eye movement, while the parallel wires echo the parallel lace bands of the fortifications.

All of them are really pretty, but I agree with opalpyrexia, #3 for the win!  |

Looks to me like you saved the best for last- but, damn, those are fine.  Thanks Tela! I tried something new with this "batch". I removed all the oxidation after they were wrapped. I put them in boiling water with wadded up aluminum foil and baking soda. It removes all oxidation in about 3 second! I used that on my silver pieces before. I wanted to see how the Liver of Sulphur treatment would take with them being completely "clean". I really didn't notice any difference though. LOL Beautiful pieces, Jason! #3 is your best: that 4-wire swoop says, "Hey, why are you looking up here? C'mon back down to the main show!" It's an effective way to create visual interest and eye movement, while the parallel wires echo the parallel lace bands of the fortifications. Thanks Gary! When I was picking out preforms patterns, I had a tendency to make patterns go horizontal or vertical. Many times lately I've purposely made any linear pattern go diagonal through the cab...in order to allow for diagonal wires in the wrap. Every one of those is sexy! Thanks Bry! Yeah...I think "sexy" is a great word here! LOL All of them are really pretty, but I agree with opalpyrexia , #3 for the win!  Thanks Robin! I have a few "killer" cabs that I keep pushing back in the queue because I can't think of how to wrap them just yet... |

5 & 7 are favs. With super minor tweaking, you could tuck those loops into the pattern a smidge more and make it look like the red flowed around them.
