I don't know what I was thinking. I had a migraine and decided to try a very small cab with 26g Sterling silver. Not a good combination. Apparently I have trouble counting swirlies when I have a migraine. I couldn't figure out why it just didn't look right, until later. 2 swirlies on the left and 3 on the right. I had intended to make 3 on both sides. I will probably take it apart and do it again. Then I got a little carried away with the swirlies here. Migraine gone. But I like it anyway. 22g argentium. Spread these swirlies out and they became more like petals. A happy accident. 22g sterling. Pink snowflake agate. I don't know what to say about this one. I am not thrilled with it. But I love the stone. 22g argentium. Petrified wood in 22g gold filled. I am very happy with this one. The others I was trying to do swirlies like Marie. I guess I should just be true to my own style. I made this cab months ago. I have been just waiting for inspiration as to the design for it. I finally came up with this. What do you think? Does it do the stone justice? I know I need to tighten up the bottom. :blush: Thanks for lookin Amy

I kinda like that last one. It is different from the usual. The pink snowflake is beautiful but I see what you mean. Maybe there is too much going on at the top. The wrap body is perfect! I really like them all, even your migraine wrap looks good. Fran

Amy, I just read your post to Superioragates saying that you didn't like the wire across the front--I did like it.
And I like the one you are not thrilled with (actually I like them all), and I like that there are three circles on one side of your "migraine wrap" and only two on the other.
I really like the idea in the last one, but the overall effect is a bit large for my taste.
This is a good reminder that we all like different things, and an amusing reminder for me.

Very sweet looking wraps on all accounts, but I gotta say I like the "different" of the last one, and I love the one in gold.....very nice !

I guess it is good that everyone doesn't like the same things. Otherwise we would never try something new, right? I am glad someone likes the ones that I am not thrilled with. I would probably like what someone else considers to be a failure. Vive la difference!
Thanks everyone. That's why we come here.

Even in the best phisical shape, I could't wrap as well as you do. The missing swirl on the left does not hit the eye at all. My favorites are the pet wood and the pink snowflake.
