Randy, you wire-wrapping fool, you! I just love the colors in the stone and you really broke out the creativity on these. I like the stone in the second pic and I like the wrap in the first pic the best, but that's just me. I really like them all though. The twisted wire really compliments the stone. Jo

Those are really pretty. I love your new designs on the bottom and I love the cabs. My favorites are the first and last and I don't mind saying I envy you your ability to create 3 wraps in one morning.

Randy, you are very good at this thing. It looks to me like you could make some serious money from it, if you wanted. Wish I could do that.

Thanks y'all! Bob- If I could sell them as fast as I can make them, I'd make between 12 and 15 of them every day! I can do one in 45 minutes.

Did you have a good time at Bills?

I had a great time at Bill's! The women where quite entertaining, they all had a great sense of humor. I tell ya one thing, it's hard trying to teach more than one person at a time. Both Joanne and Margret had some experience in wrapping and it showed. Everyone did really good, especially the first-timers. I'd definitely do it again.

Randy you really are refining your skills. I like all of them with the flourishes and swirls. Guess I need to switch to dead soft in the future purchases of wire. I keep looking at the third one and can't figure out what keeps the top of the stone from working loose. Is it just sitting in that pocket and pulled tightly at the top? T

On the third one, the outside of the wrap is twisted slightly inward, just enough so that it's not really noticeable but yet holds the stone tightly against the wire in the back. Everything has to be tight for this to work otherwise the cab would fall right out. It's fairly easy to do, especially with the calibrated cabs.

Ok, that sounds right! But you might do what I do and that is sleep with it on for a couple of weeks to see how it does I've had tight stones just drop out after wearing them for a few weeks 24/7. They just loosen up. T
