I've had an over flowing plate lately, but I squeezed in a few argentium wraps and a copper which I intend to patina.
Thanks for looking at my quickie pix. I see I have some little tweaks to do. Nothing like a close up picture! LOL!

Those are some amazing cabs that were wrapped really well. I hope that some day I can get to your level as a cabber. The ruby is my favorite of the batch, but they are all awesome. Great job.

Thanks, but to be truthful, I only cabbed the silver, copper complex and azurite. I still buy cabs, too, when I see good ones at a good price. |

I'm not against buying cabs myself, but I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with them yet so I can't really justify it. |

Nice Tela, glad you got time in on wrapping. 
I like the silver one- subtle and barely looks like the stone is held with the wire - but I know it is. The rhodonite also looks great, with the black accent wraps , blends perfectly with the stone. Where did you get the black wire ? Patina ?
But I'm always drawn to azurite - nice and simple, keeps the focus on the stone.
Thanks for sharing,
Patty ..... always trying to pick up tips to learn.

 Tela, it's great to see you got some time to get these beauties put together! They're fantastic! There were a couple that looked like they could have been challenging shapes...and you formed the wrap SO well! |

Many people begin their journey with too many cabs. |

Thank you!
I believe the wire is the Artistic Wire brand. It is half round. Took a little doing finding it, but it was worth the effort for a previous project. I had some left. The rhodonite seemed a fine candidate for it. |

I don't think I've gotten one before. Actually, the ruby in fuchsite was challenging due to the uneven, thin girdle, but I managed. Though it took two tries. (Don't tell anyone... ) |

rockjunquie They are all gorgeous Tela! Love the first one! Thank you Ashley. I love that the first one is so pastel and feminine. I think it is very floral and Springy. |

They all look great but I really like the last one. It's unique. My wife loves the rhodonite. (It is beautiful!)

Your cabs and wrapping continue to amaze me! A delight to the eyes! You are truly an artist. I remember seeing your silverwork on another forum a few years back - it would be good to see some of those beauties posted here too.
The ruby fuchsite is my favorite of this batch.
