That is gorgeous. Great prongs. And the embellishment on top is perfect. I can never get my prongs even. Great job.

I've never seen anything like it. Way to think outside the box. It is beautiful.

It worked. Not sure why the words came out yellow.

I am having trouble with getting a good Polish on some cabs. Especially obsidian and other similar stones. They always look cloudy and I go back through again and still cloudy. When wet it looks great. They are very smooth. Then I dry it and it looks kinda like there is a grey film on it, but there is no film on it. Not sure any other way to describe it. I am using 9 wheels from 60 grit to 14000 grit.
Most other stones will take a nice Polish. Jasper's always look nice, agates almost always look nice except now I have a Montana agate that is driving me crazy. It just won't co operate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Amy

I see a ship in the wrap also, I also see an old church with a high steeple on a prairie of yellow flowers at dusk.
I see a deep dolphin in the other. I can't usually see those, but that one came in just a few seconds.

I love this groove wrap. The simplicity of the wrap really enhances the stone. It doesn't need anything else to look beautiful.

I love your use of beads on the turquoise. Very different.

Hi, fellow nerds. It's nice that we can admit that now and be accepted for it. In high school we were bullied for it.
I am and always have been a nerd and a super trekkie. Never could get to a convention but always wanted to. My inner trekkie was fueled by my dad, super nerd. He bought me 2 record albums, (vinyl) one was William Shatner sings, and the other was Leonard Nimoys music to pick up space girls by. He he. Both are terrible albums. But fun to admit that I have them in my collection. Shatners is signed by him. My dad got them at the goodwill in the 60's. Shatner is not a Singer, but the album shows his classic training in Shakespeare as well. Nimoy REALLy could not sing. I am binge watching voyager lately. Wish I could find deep space nine, even though I hear it is terrible. I haven't found discovery yet. Have a dvr search set up for it. Love Orville. Grew up reading every sci fi book I could get my hands on.
Oh, sorry, I got carried away, nice wrap Tella.

Extremely beautiful. Elegant. I love it, stone and wrap. I have a new favorite now.
I forget which artist it was, but, someone asked him, "which is your best painting? " He replied, "my next one. " that is you. A true artist.

Not sure what that has to do with obsidian or wire wrapping.

It's simple. Could be unisex?

Holy #&*t that is my favorite you've ever done!!! I love the wire on the right side to balance out the odd shape cab.

Very pretty. I have never seen green pet wood before. Nice simple wrap to show it off.

I have made tiny earring wraps before. I know how difficult that is. Especially on the eyes. Great job.

That is beautiful. I like how the loops at the top accent the loops around the stone.
