Tonja, thanks for posting this eye treat! You are such a versatile wrapper, you're able to handle so many styles and each of them to a high quality level.
My favorite is that pentagon. Is that cabojohn made by you or by the inventor himself?

wow *yes my mouth is still hanging open in total awe here* now how cool are those? how did you make the bracelets? and yes that shell is really artistic- good wrap. You really nailed these stones. They all stand on their own merit -with the wrap being such a compliment. wow.

Thanks for all the wonderful responses! I really do need to get wrapping, but truthfully, I only have a small amount of wire left and can't get anymore till prices come down. I have only been wrapping for about 2 1/2 years maybe. I learned from watching several others from this board. Bejewelme - the little triangled one is Malachite with mother of pearl chips wrapped in 24 g, hr, 14K gold filled wire . My neice had picked out those pieces and asked me to wrap them. The picture was my final product. She loves it, Thank goodness! LOL. Randy - You got it Darlin! Adrian - All the cabs shown were cut and polished by me. The cabojohn was actually a mistake that I love! LOL When it was finished, I saw it as a cabojohn. Thank you again for all the wonderful responses. Makes me feel like I did something right, LOL ;D Tigger

Tonja - so glad to see these again! I was always amazed at what you came up with by looking around the 'net. That first one is just gorgeous.

I think I missed some of these the first time - that shell is awesome - I won't ask for the backs because I know they're old pics (but you know better anyways don't you?)
I really like the triangle one (if you still have that one I'd like to see the back please!)

It's fun to look back. I remember some of these. How did you secure the bottom of the cab in the first pic? It is really pretty and I am intrigued (sp?) by it. All of the wraps are wonderful.

Thanks! I enjoy looking back at past work. I learn from that, LOL. Tweety, I don't have that wrap any longer. My niece wears it now. I will look through my archives to see if I still have the pic of the back, just for you. Sitnwrap, That cab is actually wrapped with 3 wires. The bottom of the cab is situated between the 2 wires. After the bindings, I pulled the second wire up in the back and brought it over the bail. The third wire comes up the back and then down the front. I call that wrap, A Sheilded Heart, LOL. It's actually harder to explain how I did it than it was to do. Tigger PS Tweet, I looked but I don't have a pic of the back. I'm sorry.
