Spent several hours with the WF today, cutting and shaping preforms, then got the vibe a-shaking with the preforms and a whole bunch of ceramic filler. Played with Windows 7 for a while, got bored, then decided to do some wrapping. Here's what came out the other end: First, a Montana agate - one of my favorites. Second, a pretty piece that I think might be Mary Ellen jasper - but I'm really not very sure - somebody tell me if I'm wrong. Thanks fer a-lookin', j'all! Tom

Thanks, folks! I've been forcing myself to shy away from the "over-the-top" froo-froo that I started doing, and trying to make it a bit more simple, while still going for a bit of elegance in the wrap. The thing I enjoy is that I keep on learning. It still is tempting to go nutz with the swirlies and stuff, though!
