Of course I needed to wrap some opals while I was on this wrapping binge, so.... This is a group pic of my recent doings. Koroit Koroit And this the stone I use in my avatar closeup. Koroit. And I back mounted some small opals using Tony Turners back mounted bails I copied from him. And one prong mount I copied from Shannon, I think. Thanks, Tony

Drool!!! Wow, the wrapping has really hit you hard! Those look fantastic! Your boulder Opal has some really wonderful pictures in them and that agate in the top pic, bottom R looks really nice! How are your plastic opals doing? Were you able to free them? Fran

Thanks all!! Lori... I was trying to make the wrap look like the kind of molten look of the pattern in rock in that first one. I was please with it too Fran.... I have an on going job with the plastic stones... most have faired well, but some seem to have a haze over them and I think I'll have to redo them. Oh, well...good practice Jo, I appreciate your comments! When are we going to get to see your stuff I know you have some, lol. Jason... get you some opal... soon! Steve... time to kick those winter blues with a nice wire wrapping binge!
