I tried to weave the wire. Superioragates is right it is easier with the wires on the rock. I found a small crochet hook helps too, sometimes I just can't grab it with my fingers, so I pull it through with the crochet hook. I used 20g round, 22g half round for the wraps and 26g round for the weaves. all copper.
This one looks great in person, but blown up like this I can see every crooked wire, which looks to be most of them.
I should just post smaller pictues. The stone is Sedona red rock. This one actually took a good polish.
This is a brown Onyx wrapped in 22g 12K gold filled.
This one is wrapped in 22g Argentium silver. I don't remember what the stone is. It looks very much like some turquoise in it. I don't think so though, my friend gave me a fairly large chunk of it. He's awfully generous if it is turquoise.
Thanks for lookin.

This was a more than admirable first attempt, and as usual, all your wraps are beautiful.
