Hey everyone, I'm back ( no internet for the last month or so... )..... Have I missed anything exciting? I have alot of threads to read and some messages to send, but for tonight I have a couple of wraps to show .... First is a cab from Tony Terner ( not sure what the stone is.... Tony? ). Wrapped in 21ga gold dead soft, with 24ga silver half hard for the binds. I did another one kind of like this, but this one has a little more flair on the bottom ( more like my last sketch from my " old " sketch book, Thank you very much Nancy ). and the back, purely functional.... Second is a cab from Fran ( Thanks you also Fran, I love the stones ). Again, I'm not quite sure what it is ( Fran? ), but I wrapped it in 20ga silver dead soft with 24ga HH for the binds. My mom recieved this one for Christmas and she loved it.... and the back.... please don't look ( hey wow, I threw in a quarter for scale , this one ain't small ) Well, as always, let me know what you think..... And Happy New Year everybody ..... Thanks, Chris

Chris, I gotta tell you........you have some of the most original wraps Ive ever seen. Both are great but I REALLY like the first one. The little extra bit at the bottom really adds a lot. I like the woven look on the second one.

I like them both as well. One thing I like with yours is you can dump out a sack of wraps from all the wrappers here and I could pick out your wraps easily. Yours definately do stand out and in a good way.

Dang Chris you are fantastic at this wrapping. You seem to know just what to do to make the stones really pop. Very nicely done:)

It's good to see you posting Chris. I missed your magic touch with wire. That first one is my favorite. I love the back as much as the front. I think that is the really fun part of your pics, looking at the back and still not be able to figure out how you do it. lol.
Glad you got your computer up again.

Thanks everybody..... ... as always you guys are just too kind :blush: ...... Tony?.... Fran?... any idea what these stones are? I'm curious.... And Lori, that's funny because I can't ever seem to figure your wraps out.... well, I know how to do your bracelet, I just haven't tried one yet, but I will ( some day )!!!!

Had to add my two cents worth on these. They are just beautiful and very unique. I can't figure out how you do them either.

Those are terrific Chris. The wire really seems to flow for you and your designs are always so original. I don't have any ideas what that cab is. It wasn't marked when I bought it and it wasn't something I recognized.
