Did up a few wraps on the weekend but never got around to posting the pictures I took until today. Amethyst  Estevan Agate  Red stuff from Frank (too soft for jasper)  Gold stone  Tiger eye  Pet wood  Gneiss with feldspar  These ones are actually lumps of glass I got from the dollar store.  |

Those are beautiful! Are they grooved? The amethyst is my favorite.

The Estevan Agate is somewhat translucent Nate.  Lyle the lumps of glass are just kind of cab shaped colored glass. I found them in the craft section at dollarama. 15 for $1 figured what the heck at that price and I actually really like them. |

Hi Scott,
Love the wrap on the amethyst. So simple but sooo elegant. But then I saw the Estevan agate. That stone just slays me. Gorgeous.

I like them all, especially the "red stuff". The color is awesome, the long thin shape is elegant and it really looks good in a gold wire groove wrap.

For that price I would love the lumps of glass too. Did you groove the glass too?
I use worry stones for practicing a new style. They cost 2 to 3.00 and are tumble polished with an indentation on the back. They are real stones and really pretty ones too.
Nothing wrong with wrapping cheap stuff, as long as it looks good. We gotta save $ somehow these days. If we don't cut corners where we can, we can't afford wire. LOL
