It's a doublet from the Halloween cab competition. It's ghost Agate on bloodstone. I'll probably patina it.

Looks like bronze wire. I like the beads. The cab is sweet, too.

I played with the color of the pic trying to get it more true to life. The wrap looked gold before I did that.

I like the twisted wire and how it ties in with the central textured ribbed bead. It looks nice bright copper, but I'm sure equally so patinated. Patty

You have certainly conquered "decorations" that enhance the cab rather than overwhelm it. Love the beads on the left side!

Great wrap!

Thanks Patty! I patina just about everything so I'll probably be doing this one. It can always be reversed but I seem to always like them better even if it's a very light patina.

Thanks Susan! I was really trying to not overwhelm.

Thanks Chris, I don't use a lot of beads but I was trying to balance the asymmetrical stone by mirroring the shape of the right side of the cab.

Love the stone and the wrap! Where do you get the copper beads from, if I may ask?

All of those beads are from Rio Grande. BTW, I've been meaning to mention for a while, I really like your logo. Did you create it yourself?
