Hi All, I am thinking of entering a competiton at a little village show at the end of the month. One of the classes is, "Hard Handycraft", so I thought I would do a wrapped beach pebble and enter it. This is only my 3rd wire wrap so I thought I would run it past the experts before I enter. Please tell me what you all think, thank you. Mary

I like the pebble - very nice. I don't wrap myself, just enjoy looking at the art form. I'll leave the experienced to comment on that, but it looks well done to me.

Hey - nothing ventured, nothing gained, and who knows who you might meet. It looks good enough to enter so why not?

Very Pretty Mary. This could start a whole new direction for your life. You can win and then ladies will be wanting you to teach them how to wire wrap. Never be afraid to show people what you create out of love:)

Very nice wrap and stone. Pictures sometimes picks up things that don't show in person. Going on the picture, I would take my wrap and try to press it closer to the stone where the binding wire is on both sides, sometimes you can do this with the end of your pliers the rubber part just press against those two places. Very nice wrap. Donna

Thanks for all you comments guys. I will enter the competition which is on the 26th September and let you know how I get on. Moondragon - That would be a dream come true, fingers crossed!
Donna - Thanks for that tip, I did that and looks much tighter, cheers.
