Recently I posted some cabs and said I was going to wrap a couple of them. Here is tonight's efforts. I wrapped these two and a third that can't be shown yet as well as some earring bails. My fingers are really sore from all of that wrapping. I need tougher fingers or easier wire. lol On the first one I tried to emulate Sitnwrap's style of trying to make the rock look like its not held in. These turned out OK, I'm not happy with the bails, very messy, but I was in a rush since I HAD to have these done tonight. Be kind. Amethyst Utah imperial jasper

Holy jamoly! They are great Tony. Both cabs are gorgeous as are the wraps. I don't know what it is about purple lately but that first one, cab and wrap is a WOWser. You did a great job bringing the wire just enough over the girdle. Seems fitting you use my technique as I've begun making the "Tony Bails". It's lots of fun swapping Ideas.

I like Lori's style that you mentioned and I think you managed to do it great, I'm almost tempted to put my hand on the screen, being affraid that purple rock not to fall from the screen on my key-board Great pendant! The Utah imperial jasper ... well, I have to agree with you about the bail, but I think it could be easily and quickly redone. The beautiful stone surely deserves it. Adrian

Honey: I think they turned out great!! Maybe redo the bail on your Mom's, it is for your Mom after all, and I know you are nothing short of a perfectionist. Are you sure that purple one is not for me??? Hahahahah. Your sister will love it, that is just beautiful.

Nothing to be kind about Tony, just honest, these are great! Not easy trying a new style in crunch fashion. I think you did sitnwrap justice. The silver really sets these off! I've made about 20 Tony Bales in silver and then did some eclectic copper wraps that I'll post after Christmas! I couldn't muster the gumption to try Randy's wraps in silver during this Christmas crunch time. So I'll try it when things are less hectic! You did it! Jo

Great wraps Tony! I see faces on the top part of the imperial jasper. Can you see the faces of two young hunters looking over the land? Sorry, my imagination is in full swing tonight. LOL
Thanks for sharing Tony, the wraps are beautiful.
