Well...here's a few more I whipped up. A couple I am really proud of, 1 I debated even posting...but here it is anyways. In person it doesn't look too "busy", but the pic sure does make it look that way up close. These are cabs from Donna & Ken in this first one, the rest are dremel cabs. I wanted to do something with multiple stones........this is my 2nd try with that....IDK...what do you guys think? This one...I kinda been calling my queen victoria, not sure why but... Thanks for lookin everyone! Oh yeah...sorry bout the first 2, I was playin with photo bucket! Marie

Looks good. I like the multiple wrap, looks really hard to do.

That first one really grabs the attention. Marie, you wrapped multiple stones together and kept "true" to the wrapping style. That is flat out amazing. As for being too busy, that would just be a matter of personal taste and everyone has their own.
I do think that you are the queen of swirlies.

Thanks Scott & Lori! That first one took me almost all day to do....not sure I have spent that much time on 1 wire wrap b-4...... Queen of swirlies huh? Too Funny!! Donna - I have been wanting to do the multiple stone thing for some time, but never had any smaller stones that would go with a bigger cab, thanks to you, I have all green stones in that 1st one! I am guessing the big cab to be green tree agate? and the little ones jade maybe? Oh who am I kidding......I haven't a clue!

I think you are right on the green tree agate, the small ones ? maybe green moss?

Well, Marie, I think that first one is fantastic! Stunning. It does look like it might be fragile, so be careful with it! They are all gorgeous. I envy your talent!

Marie, you must be able to think in about 15 different dimensions all at once to do wraps like that! I am in awe, to put it mildly. No doubt about it, you got some talent. My favorite of this group is the one you call Queen Vic. Really intricate and smooth!

Thanks you guys!! I actually got the idea after I visited a members website, and was completely blown away by the work she does! I will NEVER be able to compare to that....*s* Tom- that first one is no where near being fragile...believe it or not! I made sure everything is tight, and the stones are secure in there. It is kinda frilly lookin tho isn't it? Mike - Yep at least 15 different directions! I think it comes from a few years ago...I honestly had 3 full time jobs, never missed a school event, took care of the house, etc etc etc! My days used to start at 2 a.m., and end at around 8 or 9 p.m....7 days a week most of the time. So NOW I have to keep busy with SOMEthing at all times....or I go crazy! Thanks again everyone!!!!!

That's some wrap!!! You went all out with these, and keeping the wire so smooth is incredible. Thanks for taking us in new directions. Debby and Tom

That first one is a jaw-dropper! You are SO tallented! I don't even think of trying to figure out the wire scheme there.
The other ones are beautiful too, but the stage is taken by the first one.
