Hey everyone.... I'm still here!!!! I finally found time to wrap a stone..... The roaming wire is headed my way, so I needed to warm up a little .... also, I got a little package of amazing goodies from Tony ( and Amber ), so I really have some wrapping to do .... This wrap actually turned into one of my more complicated ones.... I didn't leave myself much room to hide the ends, and I wanted the bottom to have nice sharp points ( I've tried to make points before, but I think I figured it out )..... I think it got a little messy in a couple of spots, but at least they are in the back.... what to you all think? and the back... Oh, by the way...I heard that native americans used to call this Zebra Stone.... funny, Zebras are from Africa ;D...... oh well, looks like marble to me ....

You sure caught the character of that stone beautifully. The wrap makes me think of a tribal mask.
It's great to see a post from you. Your creative wraps are so much fun to see.

This is too cool with the points! I have this idea, and since you like to make the sharp points....I thought it would be kinda cool to see a black or red stone with flame like designs going just up one side of the stone. Not so much as to cover the stone, or anything, just enough to see it's there....just an idea.

Man, Chris, that's a great wrap. I'm blown away by the points, and the design, and how it all comes together - it's all I can do just to get the wire to go around the stone! LOL! Beautiful job.

I liked how the points at the bottom came out so much that I had to change the top.... I like it alot more now ( except the tool marks from all the force needed to make the points ), it all goes together better.... I also tried taking the pic outside, color got a little washed out, sorry.... sitnwrap...A tribal mask, good... tribal is what I was going for ;D! I did this for my step sister-in-law. She likes my wraps, but she says none of them are the type of jewlry she would wear. She pretty much only wears black and white, and she has a couple " tribal " tatoos.... hence the design, black and white tribal .... boy, I hope she likes this one.... superioragates.... you read my mind, and I have just the cab ( remember that koi jasper Tony? )..... thanks everyone.... and keep wrappin'

Looks like something a Klingon would wear (that's a compliment)

CHRIS! I was wondering where you were! That one looks awesome and a little scary at the same time! I bet your step sister in law is going to love it! Fran

I see a wasp's eye with pointy claws and antanae here and there. Seriously, there are a variety of life forms that jump out - with or with out adult beverages. Nice work. Karock
