Man, Raquel, those are great!! I especially love the opal one... naturally I really envy you being able to make all those 10 zillion wraps. My neck gets stiff after making 10 or 20. Tony

Wow! just Wow. In the pic, the quartz almost looks a bit like natural sea glass. Beautiful job on the wrap.

Very nice! I like the addition of the weaving with your "drippy" wire look!

Thank you for the nice comments. Tony I never finish a piece at one sitting it takes awhile, when it starts to drive me crazier I have to walk away.. tackle it later. Sitnwrap the cabs are odd no shine I bought them just to check them out from rio grande. Akansan I did try to incorporate the weaving with my reg stuff thanks for noticing..
