Dennis (Wolfden) made me the most beautiful and delicate Labradorite cab a while back and I wanted to share what I did with it. First the cab in all its glory: backlit I wanted to wrap this in a way that there was no mistaking that it was mine. lol. I have been fiddling around with making letters from round silver wire and then pounding the wire flat and this is what I came up with. angled shot just because the cab flashes so amazingly and different angles show slightly different scenes: Backside: Dennis, thank you so much. Your workmanship is amazing. Lori

VERY NICE, what are you using for the part that the chain goes though(don't know what it's called) I have used the o rings but the chain willn't go though without removing the latch.

Lori:
You are amazing, remember that one you wrapped me that you said looked like an A? I think you are on to a custom niche! That is a beautiful and very special pendant! Wolf makes a very lovely cab!

Hey guys, thanks for all your comments.
Amber, I do remember the A but can't remember the cab I put it on. Damn mentalpause. lol
CUL-Ann, I bought some tiny premade bails a couple years ago when I first got into beading. I never used them as I like to make my own bails but that little bail was perfect for this wrap. Sending you a pm. I'll send you a few.

Blue Pietersite, you said it looked like an A at the bail, and I agreed!
