Whew! My fourth wrap and I have to give a standing ovation to those of you who are so skilled not only with wire but with gold filled. My poor eyes gave out on me tonight trying to wrap this for tomorrow. A coworker and friend is leaving after living in Florida for over ten years. She has been an enthusiastic and encouraging supporter of my early efforts from cabbing to doing my first wrap. If it hadn't been for her, I still wouldn't have tried to do it but she kept standing behind me pushing! I wish this could have been a bit more elegant, polished, and yes....I admit it.....PERFECT. But, at least she'll be taking a real piece of Florida when she leaves. Criticism is very, very welcome all you wrappers! And, I'm finally showing my back! ;D (no..... not that one!) Susan

Hi Susan. Wow! That gold wire goes so nicely with the stone I'm getting a sunny bronzy feeling from the piece. Beautiful Susan, she'll treasure it! Nicely done! Jo

Yes, your eyes have given out tonight if you can't see how wonderful that one turned out! There is nothing to be disappointed about on that one and she is going to love it! Fran

Susan, I knew it! You did a beautiful job and the GF with the coral is just wonderful. That is the perfect gift for a friend who has supported you from the beginning.
