Ok the first one went so well, I figured I'd try another. This cab was done by me and is Graveyard Point. I cabbed it at the same time I did the other one. BTW, it is about the size of a quarter. Two in one evening, man I'm whipped!! LOL Thanks for looking, Tigger

Nah - she's an old pro. She just let herself get rusty. I love this one, Tonja. The round shape, the gold wire, the decoration at top. You should stay on a roll!

Good eye Adrian and Maryann, it is a slab of Kamamba. I was looking for something exciting for the background and this happened to be sitting there. Worked pretty good . Ronda, I don't know about ole pro, but yeah I was alittle rusty Thanks Fran, but Randy gets the credit. I have been watching his posts lately and learning. I Love the vote of confidence!! Thanks again Everyone. I'll probably try to do more soon. Tigger

WTG Tigger. That one is stunning. You just grabbed that wire and ran with it like a quarterback with wings! Anglic wing at that because that wrap and cab are heavenly!

Wow, beautiful! I love round cabs, myself, but I have heard they are more difficult to wrap?

Thanks again all. Amy I kinda felt it was easier. Once you got your wires to the top straight, LOL, then it was just imagination. Amber, I had a hard time trying to cab circles. This one just happened by accident. I was actually going for a larger size teardrop and decided on this instead. Keep trying! Randy I'm waiting to see them! LOL Thanks! Tigger

Tonja For a "rusty, old pro" it sure looks like you haven't lost your touch. Great cab and wrap.
Keep it up.

*cough* I think I need to clarify. :blush: I did not mean to insinuate that Tonja had turned out inferior product. I always love what she shows. I just meant it had been awhile since she had last posted something! And thought I'd comment on the round cab thing - I love round cabs, but I've only managed to get one "perfectly" round myself. My problem actually appears to be an inability to mark from a template evenly, though!

HEHE Ronda, No need to clarify. I knew exactly what you meant, and YES, I'm rusty! LOL
I have a very hard time doing circles, this one, well, I just got lucky. I cabbed it months ago and it just sat here looking at me until I finaly figured out what to do with it. I only had so much dead soft wire left and I just sat on it until now. I didn't want to use it and then be disapointed in the wrap. The 2 that I did use it for came out very cool and I'm glad I waited until the cabs were ready. LOL. Now, I need to take up donations to get more wire!! LOL j/k
