Here are some more I did this week. Hope you like them. This photo does not do this one justice. It takes my breath away. I'm really proud of this one. URL=http://img194.imageshack.us/i/img0405trim.jpg/] [/URL] Too much reflection from the sun on this one but the colors of the cab are right. The color of this stone is a little off but close. It actually has brighter red and a hint of brown. This little one is sitting on a rough piece of snowflake agate just like the one it came from. Another snowflake agate. I tought I would try some swirls on the side wires. But I didn't like it. This is a Brass wrap. I did the side swirls different on this one. I like it better. A plain soft rock. Not sure what it is. Looks like butterscotch fudge. Had to be very careful not to scratch this one. I'm actually surprised it took a shine. I thought sure it would break while I was working it. It is a very large cab. The crystal on the left is a quartz found locally . Hope you like 'em.

Yep, that first one is the best of the bunch, the other ones are great too. The swirls on the sides are definitely interesting. I can't figure out how you did them That snowflake agate is really cool stuff, I love the colors.

The one with just 2 swirls on the side I just twisted the top wire before putting the next wrap. That's the one I didn't like. The caramel colored one I added an extra square wire and wrapped the whole thing like usual. Then I snipped the top square wire between the wraps and curled them with the chain nose pliers. The square wire underneath the curls is actually holding the stone in place. So there is a total of 4 square wires.

Very imaginative. I would never have thought of that. I'm torn, I think I like the one first one with the swirls on the sides but that other one is nice too. I just envy your creativity..;-)

They are all fantastic. I like that they are different type wraps on each. The last one really caught my eye.
