Finally got some time yesterday to shoot some wraps I've done over the last few weeks. They are fairly large, I guess. It's hard to say since we don't use comparison devices all that much. I hate looking at a coin or ruler when I look at cabs or wraps, but I can't think of anything else that is recognizable to use for scale that would look any better. I have a gold soverign that would look great, but no one is that familiar with a gold soverign except in Britain. I'd love to use a 20 dollar gold piece, but don't have one Oh, well, quarter it is. Group Korot in gold I know the name of this stuff, but can't think of it...I keep thinking gold stone, but I think that is the stuff with flecks and sparkles......so I guess this is unknown until someone corrects me Koroit in gold. These I know, lol!! Thanks, Tony

Tony, I'm probably wrong, but is it a Black Kyanite blade? Sort of looks like the ones Amber and I found, but if it is, boy, that's a nice big one! Anyway, my favorite of your wraps is the squiggly one on the far right. Really like your work. You matched the wire with the Koroit pattern in the last one nicely. Yeah! Jo

Tony, those are beautiful wraps. That black one is very stunning and that third one reminds me of a peacock for some reason.
As for the quarter, you can always dress it up a bit by wire wrapping it. lol

Nice set! The black one is probably Apache Gold or Oro Verde serpentine which is black serpentine with gold pyrite inclusions.....Mel

Thanks for the kind words!! It helps keep one pulling out the wire and trying again. Thanks, Mel! Apatche gold is what I was trying to remember. Professor Mel knows rocks! T

Nice job Tony!
On the size comparison thing, I always liked a nice clean ruler. When laid at the bottom edge of the photo, you dont notice it much, its a nice even shape that doesnt detract and you could get one that matched your background so that all you would really see would be the measurement marks. A clear one even......so that the background color would always show through.
