new wraps from 5-19-10

[rockrookie]

here are 2 new wraps from this week.
the 1st one was started several weeks before my Mother's Day wrapps . i got discouraged & quit . so now i went back & finished it
i added the upper bends in the wire , to tighten fit








the next one i wanted to wrap a tumbled Quartz Crystal --
i used Bikerrandy's method of using a drill to twist square wire .
it works very well!!!
then i just sort of winged th wrap ---- i am happy with the results


front


back

thanks for looking !!

I like what you did on the front around the cab of the first one, Paul, and your bindings are looking more even and tight. Bail bindings are so darned tricky... don't know if you use it, but I use blue painter's tape to hold the bottom around the stone and one above to hold the wires while I start the binding. Saves me from trying to wrangle all the wires while trying to get that dang binding to lay flat and nice. That crystal looks really great! That's using the ole creative knoggen! Jo
