Started with Eni's tutorial, and took it somewhere else. Ha, so what else is new? lol. Tons of fun, and lots of wrapping. I used 20 ga and 28 ga sterling, and one of DesertDwellers awesome cabs. ...and for Tweety, the back ;D

That's great, Dee! I can't make out how the band attaches at the top... is it adjustable? Tony

Alas, no. The band is done first, and then the ends are woven together and you weave the top. Bummer, eh?

Quite a bit of wrapping there! Good for you. Good control of the wire.

Dee, I think a lot of us enjoy seeing the back side of wraps. It is a very beautiful ring and the wrap is great. It looks so labor intensive.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, sitnwrap, it's labor intensive, but somehow easier for me to figure out what to do with 'the ends' than the classic wire wrap style. Go figure! So it's meditative and mindless and ... soothing to do!
