This was my one and only practice wrap. Not too bad. Now. This is my very first real wrap. What do you think? Mexican Crazy Lace. 20g HH SS square wire. 20g HH HR SS binding wraps. . . . . . . . . Enjoy. Mitzi

The second one would have been beautiful even without the "company" of the first one, but this way it shows even clearer how much you have grown.

Very neat, even wraps! Great job, and very graceful on top with the silver wire. Nice!

That is a great wrap. Amazing that it is your first real wrap. The top is very graceful.

I love this wrap - love the small touch at the top with the closed loop. And the cab is terrific!

You are a natural! They are so elegant. I have only tried a few and my wraps need work. Still using the cheap practice wire until I can get better at it. Fran

Dang, Mitzi! I was just trying to talk myself into posting my feeble attempts, then I saw this! If that is your second try then there is no hope for me T

;D You guys are so generous with your compliments. Thanks so much. I really enjoyed wrapping this cab.
Tony-I'm sure your wraps are beautiful. You know, we are our own worst critic. Come on. Post them.

I'm catching this thread late, but very, very, very nice job on both! They are both clean and fresh and not overdone! The wrap settings are beautiful and still let the stone have center stage. Excellent work!!!!
