I liked the way yesterday's wrap came out, so I decided to expand on the idea a little.... I think I found a very difficult way to make something that looks very simple... See, from the front it just looks like I wrapped a wire around the rock.... But.... the back shows something very different..... And I just have to say thank you to everyone for your kind words....I really enjoy doing these wraps.... and I appreciate your support!!!! Chris

You did a great job and it is much more stable with the bindings all down the back instead of being a continuous wire wrapped around the stone...You can say that was your plan all along ;D Fran

Randy.... yep, a million ideas, it's just too bad that I can't remember any of them . And Frane deserves the credit for the stone. kentuckyrocker... nah, it's not that bad. I just started with 3 wires binded together running strait up the back of the stone. I started at the bottom, wrapped one wire around the stone, binded the other two together, then wrapped a second wire around the stone, and each time the wires came around to the back I just bent it strait up and binded it back into the spine...... O.K. so that dosen't make any sense , sorry..... Frane.... yep, the stone isn't going anywhere, your stone is well protected... and that was my plan all along , yeah, that's it, lol!!!

That is a really neat wrap. It looks like it will keep the stone in nicely. Tami

That is a really creative idea. I would have never thought of something like that. Very novel

I'm gonna be an echo of the rest... very cool from the front and was totally surprised seeing the back. Too cool. Jo

I have looked at this several times and still can't figure out how you did it. I can't follow the wires on the back. lol. This design is so cool and you have fueled me and probably others with extra creative ideas, so thank you for posting and sharing.
