I like the first wrap best - nice swirls and not too busy. What is that yellow stone? Great job on all.

Toad - I am not sure what that is...it's actually a very light green color...when I ordered these cabs they came in a bag...all mixed up, and not labled, so unsure what some of them are...well in fact most of them! LOL

I like all of them, Marie! I wish I could do anywhere close to that well with my wraps.
On the yellow earrings, did the ear wire come that way, or do you add the beads and stuff to them yourself? Looks like a neat touch.

Awesome, Marie, you did great. Those matching pendants are cool and a great idea. I can't do the same wrap twice so am in awe of your skill.

Thanks you guys....I thought of those last night while wrapping one of them. Kinda a neat idea I thought. I only did 2 sets...gonna try them out in my shop, see what happens.
Hey drock - yes you can! All I do is this.....I make a swirl or twirl or whatever...put it down, pick up the other one, and do the same exact thing again....ya just have to pay real close attention to the little things...like where exactly are your fingers positioned when you do the first one. You CAN do it!! I'll tell ya what I told my kids all their lives every time I heard the word can't come outta their mouths - oh yes you can..and because you think you can't, you won't, if you believe you can, you WILL! So start believein YOU CAN!!! CAN"T is not in a wrappers vocabulary...sorry...LOL!!

Beautiful sets! You are whipping them out so quickly! I need to pick up the wire again. I haven't done it in ages. I guess I want to get a stockpile of cabs first and then I will go at it again.
I think you are inspiring me to start soon!

These stones are all 18x13mm...or 3/4" x 1/2" so they are lightweight, and I promise will not rip the ear lobes off! LOL Nature - I am unsure of the stones, the 2nd set of earrings - stones are black background with a gold shimmery effect on them....the 2nd set of pendants - I would have to guess at maybe tree agate? But I dont really know for sure. I did these last night (Sat) too...thought I'd just stick them on here instead of making a new posting........   Thanks again everyone!! |

Those are very cool, and perfect!  I think that I like the first and third sets the best, they swirls look more graceful to me on those two. "graceful"..... don't tell any of my bro's that I used that word. lol EDIT- I didn't see the last two pics until I hit the button, the Cameo is sweet!! (both are sweet)  |

WOW Marie, very nice!! I like the BFF thing, now you gotta find some pre teens to market them too. The big thing at Bobby's school are rubber bands that are shapes, they trade them and the stores can't keep them in stock seems to be the hot thing with the pre teens right now, LOL. I like all these I really cant pick a fav

Ok, Marie, I think I can, I think I can. I think I'll try once I get a pair of small matching cabs to do. Thanks for the tips and for the pep talk.
