Hello wrappers! I woke up early this morning determined to wrap one of my cabs. After much coffee and jittery frustration, this is the end result. It's not exactly a study in symmetry, but not_too terrible (I think) for my second attempt at wrapping. Thanks for looking!

Holy Crap that is beautiful!!! I mean really, Im not just smooching your hiney when I say that. You have framed the stone nicely and the decorative elements dont cover or hide the stone, which is most important in my opinion.
Really nice work! I cant wait to see more.

After much coffee and jittery frustration! The jittery frustration was caused by the coffee. Try alcohol instead LOL

WOW, Brian, you should wrap more often! That one is a real beauty! Your design required a simmetry very difficult to achieve but you got it perfectly. The design also lets the stone visible, i like this a lot. I almost forgot, the cab is gorgeous too.

WOW, that is only your second attempt? You are looking like a pro already! Great job on the wrap and the cab, it is beautiful,..... not too much frill........ just enough to really highlight the stone. Great job, coffee does wonders, it is half my blood supply! Amber

Sheesh that's better than any wraps I've done. Nice job. I think we all tend to be overly critical of our own work and I doubt any laymen would notice whatever minor imperfections that you perceive. Not to mention photos magnify them. I really don't see anything out of balance with the symmetry.

I remember your first wrap and loved it and this second one is beautiful. I think you're a natural and will continue to wrap cause it would be ashamed to waste an obvious tallent WTG Beef!

Thank you folks very much for all the kind words!! ;D Christa just loves it so I scored some extra credit points there I shall not wait 5 months for the next one, tho I don't see much spare time for a while. Maybe I'll try and wrap while watching the Cards kick butt this Sunday! ;D ;D ;D

Hey Mr Beef! That's a fabulous wrap Mate! I really love the stone, gorgeous colours and that crackly jaspergate pattern. Awesome! As it's only your second wrap you should avoid being over critical for sure, it's an absolute beaut from here! And your pictures are crisp and clear, so there's no hiding! ;D The binding wraps are tight and neat, the bail is spot on, and the embellishment adds a fun and exuberant flourish! It's superb! We are in for a treat I can tell mr Jello! Your going to be wraping corkers till the cows come home! Great Job! Thanks for posting your results! Cheers, Sparkles.

Second wrap! I have done about a dozen wraps and would be thrilled if I did one half as good this one. You did a fantastic job on both the wrap and the photograph.
