The cab is from a rock I found on the beach. I slabbed and ground it to a preform shape. This was the very first cab created when Titania taught me how to cab. She actually cabbed this while I watched to get the gist of it. Also, as I wrapped it I knew that I wanted an arrow to come down on the rock (a little crooked and the point isn't to ponted ) but as I did this, for whatever reason, all I could think of was Native American. The bail reminds me of feathers and I knew I wanted six coming from the arrow. Does anyone know if there is a significance in the number of feathers on an arrow? There is much more shine to the stone but I did not capture it. I finally got brave and played around with all the settings my camera has so I'm getting better pics. Thanks for looking.

Wow. This is an inspiration. It really has a Native American look. I think it's the colors and the lines... reminds me of Indian pictographs or rock art. You really pulled it all together (so to speak). The arrow is the coolest! Jo

Lori: You are one of the wrap masters, you have such great imagination and creativity. Beautiful piece, and I agree it has a Southwest feel.

It reminds me of the native American look too. Great job, and the design fits the stone. Very clean too!!

When I bent the arrow down on the rock I also saw that "W". instead of a point, oh wells, I LOVED Wilson! ;D Amber, thank you. I'm not sure about master but I am getting faster It's a whole lot easier to do angles than curleys though. Thanks.
