Totally understand about not wanting to scrap the whole wrap. I've modified wraps before too. I debated on saying something but you know me, I like to be honest. Glad your wife and mother both liked it and I'll bet that will sell quick. Oh please - never debate saying something to me...you can always swing for the fences posting replies to me - or sharing your opinion! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Thanks. I'll remember that for next time ;-)

I was going to reply to this but I didn't want to make the reply longer than the original one...lol. Yes, it is always the "friend" who causes all the problems...that's my story and I'm sticking to it ;-P I will admit to liking the movies too although I didn't read comic books at all. My favorite movie was Aquaman but not because of the comic book for sure ;-) Now that you mention it, that does make sense keeping the glue upside down and the clothespin idea makes sense too. Darn it I was trying to make fun of something and you had to go and make sense. Spoil sport...lol. Yeah...I know why you liked Aquaman! LOL - Jason Mamoa makes the rest of us look like Steve Urkell! LOL Sometimes I have some good ideas! LOL - I tell my wife there's a method to my madness...which generally results in eye rolls and the shaking of her head. LOL Um, yeah, he is very easy on the eyes plus it was a good movie in my opinion. There is always a method to our madness...;-)

All of those are gorgeous although I'm not sure I like the curls at the bottom of number 4. They seem to detract from the beautiful stone but that's just me. Thanks Diane! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) LOL - I don't blame you for not liking those curls. It wasn't in the original idea for the wrap. I had made two "square" tabs to hold the bottom...but it looked like CRAP! So, rather than scrapping the whole wrap, I snipped off the "top" of the square and curled the sides down...and this was the result. LOL I absolutely respect your opinion and I thank you for saying something. The other day when I showed this one to my wife and mother (biased as the are! LOL), both said they liked the way the bottom looked...so I'm hoping someone other than a family member will end up liking the curls too! LOL Totally understand about not wanting to scrap the whole wrap. I've modified wraps before too. I debated on saying something but you know me, I like to be honest. Glad your wife and mother both liked it and I'll bet that will sell quick.

Those are all great. I'm with Robin, not a fan of the Millefiore glass but the wraps are beautiful. I like what you did with the wires at the bail to "lock down" the swirls.

It's always a "friend" that causes problems! LOL "I'm such a nerd...I love superhero movies...or anything that's based on comic books. I was a comic book collector when I was a lot younger...so it's really awesome to see them "come to life" on the big screen. (For the most part) they're always about good vanquishing evil...and I'm a sucker for that. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Keeping the glue upside down only makes sense to me...that way it's always down by the opening. If I could store the ketchup bottle upside down in the fridge, I would! LOL The clothespins are when I have a wedge-cut (or end-cut) preform that won't allow the dop to be glued on when it's upside down. I put he clothespins on the dop, so it'll stay upright."

Since I'm late to the party, I don't have anything to add but I do wonder why we can't make fun of your "SUPERHERO SCRAP WIRE CUP"? If we can't do that then can we make fun of the bunch of clothespins or the upside down gorilla glue? Asking for a friend....:-)
