Recently I posted a wanted thread asking for pre-forms to buy. I recieved so many responses from folks willing to send me rocks, I was completely shocked ! I haven't shown anything in awhile, so thought i would show you all a couple of stones, all wrapped up, that I recieved from Randy & Ken......Thanks again guys....I am still drooling over my boxes!!! These are the cabs I made: Sodalite - from Randy - in Sterling silver  Chrysocolla - from Ken - in sterling silver  Lake Superior Stromatolite - my rocks - in Sterling silver  I have a few others done....just haven't gotten them wrapped yet! LOL I also got a box from jakesrocks....will be taking photos of those soon to post as well. Hope ya like Thanks for lookin Marie |

Nice job, I just love how you choose to wrap, don't you think that the rocks talk to you and tell you how to wrap them?

Those are all awesome Marie! I just don't know how you get the wires to behave so well and almost look solid instead of separate wires! Beautiful!

I love your wraps. My eyes may be playing tricks on me but the top swirl against the bail of your first wrap looks like a dragon curled up and it's head is coming out of the center. That one is my fav.

Thanks everyone! Glad you all like them!!
As for how I get the wires to do that.....umm...yeah...I dunno, it just happens...which is why I can't duplicate any of my stuff, cuz even staring at them, I can't figure out how I did it.....madness....
I am soooo enjoying my new rocks to cab.....soooo much fun!!! AND I get something new to wrap!!!

Yeah, Marie - what Fran said. I was having the same thought about the swirls being so darn tidy and close that they almost look solid. Could almost be mistaken for silver-smithing rather than wire-wrapping. Your work just gets more and more impressive to me with each new "twist" (ahem .. they call me "ace" - but they spell it with s's instead!).

hahahahahaha Tom, Thank you! Like I said tho, it just kinda happens.....I can't explain it....
But it's a far cry from where I started a little over a year ago, trying to wrap with Randy's tut.....from the bottom up! hahahahahahahahaha
Thanks again!!!
