Here are a few of the cabs I have done over the last few days. I was waiting to post anything until I thought they were starting to look 1/2 way decent. and I think these do!! It was suggested to me through Etsy that I might make some earrings...without pendants, so thought I would try it....umm....not sure I will try anything as small as these green ones again...my fingers are sure sore now! LOL This one I am super proud of! Ok....so that's it for now. Done a few others, and they are in my etsy store, if ya wanna see them! Thanks for lookin! Marie

Like the last one best. Like the design on the first one as well. The 3rd one seems to cover the stone up too much - you know me. But fantastic work on all of them - cabs too!

Earrings I think are the most difficult to do, I've only done one pair. You nailed it!!

Ouch! I can't even begin to contemplate the work on those earrings! *Very* nice job--both wraps and cabs. I love the first pair of earrings, but all are quite nice.

I like them all but that last one is beautiful. You do such great work. It looks like the wire just melted and flowed around the stone.

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all the kind stuff you guys always say! Toad - yes I was expecting you not to care too much for that pair! That is 24 ga. wire on them, if it gives you any idea how small the stones are. Like I said not sure I will do any more that small again! LOL The turitella ones are just about right for me!! Anyways....Thanks again everyone!!!!

Well, Marie, your earrings inspired me - they are so pretty! You've now made me stow away the stained glass tools and return to the rocks - I'm in the process of wrapping a set (pendant and earrings) even as we speak! Although you've gone WAY beyond anything I'll ever be able to do! I've really enjoyed watching your progress, and now you're a pro! Good on ya!
