Those are all amazing, I keep looking at the second one though. I really love the way that the wire flows on this one. Do you start out with three strands of wire and add more strands as you go, or is this three or four continuous strands? I wish that you lived closer, I need to learn some new tricks. Your work is beautiful and keeps getting better, keep on posting!!

I didnt really think your wrapping could get more beautiful but they did. These are so beautiful and so elegant. And the designs you picked for the stones are perfect. I got a feeling this is going to be a very good year for you Marie:)

Oh Marie, those are really beautiful, I went back to pick a favorite and I can't they all have such appeal, as Sara says I think this is going to be your year. (those poor little cabs didn't look that good when I sent them I guess they were waiting for you to dress them up.) Love seeing your work. Donna

I knew those stones would be put to good use and appreciated. Some were ugly and junky to us. You have brought out the beauty in them. Excellent work. Ken

Holy moly! Are you sure you didn't use some sort of wrapping computer on those? Wow, are they ever gorgeous! I especially enjoy seeing your use of the beads and how you blend them in. Really terrific stuff, Marie! Keep it up!

Of the three that you added, the first one is totally awesome! Quick question, are your wraps done anything like the tutorial (up until the swirls designs)?

Thanks Ken!! Glad to hear you like what I have done with the cabs too! whew! a relief! Tom - Thanks.....but no computer! LOL Don't we all wish! Randy - Thanks! Yeah I really like how that green one turned out too. Yes I pretty much follow your tutorial on the beginnings of the wraps, sometimes I change it a little, to suit the stone. Most of the time all the way up to the top bindings is the same...after that it changes a bit!

I think you need to not worry so much about offending. If someone is offended by all of your photos, they need to get off their arse and post photos of their own. Beautiful wraps. I love your use of beads. I like the symmetry of the 7th one but they are all great. Shannon

These are beautiful and it just amazes me how many you do at a time. I keep scrolling to decide which I like best but decided not to decide. It's more fun just scrolling up and down.
