Holy jeepers Sask, you've been a wrapping machine. Hey, do you wrap that front accent wire all the way around the back up to the bail, or do you end it at the bottom?
Really nice. My fav is the Green Zebra. Jo

Its all the same single wire, I take one long wire from the bail and go around front to back. Then I use it to twist around the bail. It's a real good way to see how many fingers you can get doing different things at the same time.

I like the twisted groove. After larger gauge burnished to fill the groove, it is one of my favorite asthetics. The nest bails are my taste as well. Some of the non groove wraps are striking too. No frills but an eye for design. Thanks for sharing.

I like the new accent you have going on there. Very creative. They are all very pretty.

I like your simple style, the last two especially jumped out as a wow. Nice work.

Woah! Saskrock! You really went to town on these hey?! They are fabulous! Such a bold yet sympathetic use of wire to frame and enhance your works, very nicely done. I love those dendrites in dolomite, very nice indeed, as in fact are all the pieces, but that one leaps from the screen at me. As does the Potassium Feldspar, I love the crossover wrap, extraspecially pleasing to the eye. Nice job all round - thanks for the pictures. Hope they all go out again soon! Cheers, Harry.

Dang, you get more done in a day than I get to in several months! And all so nice. The twist sure does spark those you add it to. I think the twisted wire looks especially good on the gnice and the unk. T
