Hey everyone.... I've been sick the last couple of days , but I'm feeling a little better today and got off work early, so I started wrapping... This little stone is just too neat. I guess it's just a tiny geode ( about 1" long ), cut in half with the cut side polished... it took me a little while to figure out how I was going to wrap it, being such an odd shape. All I could think of was to do a little decoration on the side to help it lay flat and cover up the ugly back a little. I think the wrap came out O.K., but the stone is awesome. What do you think? Front... ( I see a tree.... or on the bottom half, a wave crashing ) Side view... and the back, yuck...But since you want it Tweetiepy, here you go ....

Cooooool! I see a "Bob Ross" painting in there - with the swell of the ocean!
Thanks for the back - I like to see how these things are finished

Very Pretty! I love how the pattern is the stone swirls around like clouds and the wrap accentuates the pattern and colors. Great job! Fran

Another beautiful wrap chris. I love the stone and with the way the wrap came out, it is obvious that you enjoy a good challange.
Glad you are feeling better.

Cool wrap Chris! I've never seen a half agate nodule wrapped before, but I like it. Nobody will question whether the stone was made by Mother Nature of fake. I can see all kinds of things in the stone, including a white "twister" on the left side. Garry
