This one was a bear, I tied using HH sq. for the wrap. and the back Thanks for looking. Some things I found out this time. - Never use electricians tape to wrap silver wire.
- Never use fiberglass tape to wrap silver wire
- All of the above.
And
- Use longer wires sometimes.

I like the way you finished the top. I haven't tried wrapping, but from other stuff I have done with wire I know it is no easy task.

Is that obsidian green or is that a play on the light. You did a great job on that. Tami

Tami, the stone is black, I think it is my picture taking that suffers, I actually scanned the stone in rather than take a picture.

May I suggest instead of putting the top of the scanner down try putting a towel over your piece to keep out the light. Depending on the color of the stone determines the color towel I use. Tami
