Really like the green jasper! And the pet wood. And ... Thanks Chris! It's funny on that Gary Green. That was the first time I'd tried that shape...and was figuring it was going to be "throw away" practice piece...but it turned out. I really like the pattern and tones in that one...so I didn't throw it away! LOL |

Jason, I am really liking the tighter, slightly smaller swirly stuff oriented over the bails on these wraps. I LOVE what you did on that 4th wrap! Very original and artistic!  |

I'm really trying to "tone it down" in the frilly-foo-foo stuff...so I'm glad you noticed that! I was trying to go to sleep the other night and started thinking about that 4th wrap...so I knew where I was going on that one! I'm pretty sure the harp piece that susand24224 did for the challenge played a part in getting into my brain and factored in on that 4th one! |

I *really* like the harp and the Gary Green--your "harp" is nothing like mine, but it is definitely what I would want to accent that cab. You deserve all of the credit, though, you took an idea and ran with it. I see that "c" word (creativity) is seeping in--you certainly can do it and you are proving it over and over. Great job on all of them! Hmm. I just went back and looked at the bottoms on #2 and #3--quite nice! |

Too often, wraps look like a giant snake trying to squeeze the life out of the rock. Let the rock live! |

I like the 3rd and the butterfly jasper best. But, in general, they are all very nice. I'm liking the pared down look, too. |

Some more great stuff there buddy! Late to the party again but the harp (I was thinking lyre when I saw it)is spectacular. I really like the bottom cab retention on 3 and 4 too. The all look great!

Thank you my friend! I wasn't really going for a harp...so you nailed it with the "lyre"! I've done that bottom twist a couple times before...and to me, I think it compliments the shield shape really well...I guess I would think the same for any "triangular" shape... Here are the wraps I finished up today and posted to my Etsy shop. As always, thanks for taking a gander! Wow! The wraps beautiful and the stones are as well! Thanks Velo! I don't think my pictures captured it the way I could have, but that Original Owyhee shined up pretty well! |

Oh the pictures definitely captured the look well! Some of them remind me of musical notes. May I ask what brand wire you use? |

May I ask what brand wire you use? So far, I've gotten all my wire from Rio Grande. These are 20 gauge wire...round and square. I twist the square to give it...well...that twisted look! LOL |

Once I’m done learning with all the Amazon bought wire I have, I’ll be checking them out. I’m not good enough yet for the quality stuff lol. By years end though I will be. I think. |
