First off thanks for all the kudos on my last two wraps, I still need to respond to everyone on those..... But for now, I have another one for your viewing pleasure.... This is a piece of Arizona pet wood my mom tumbled. I didn't really know what to do with it, I just knew I wanted to wrap it... so I ended up just throwing alot of copper coils and weaves on it. It's like, wrapped in a copper scarf.... I'm still getting better at weaving .... ... and, if you wanted to copy this one ( good luck christopherl1234 ), this pic of the back should completely explain just how I did this wrap ( yeah right, what a mess ).... So, what about this one? Chris p.s. It's wrapped in 20, 24, and 26 gauge copper and 26 gauge silver plated copper.

You couldn't find a better name for your online store, and this pendant proofs it once more. The back is neat, too.

MAN that is outstanding it looks so regal, really classy, but when it comes to the back that is so much bulk with the weaves and coils, I don't think it would feel good on the skin or sit right. I must say your wraps are so wonderful they inspire me, I even wrapped a twin crystal. Donna

I agree Donna I love the wraps but the back is a little uncomfortable looking. I wish I had your talent keep it up and you also inspire me Jody

Hey Chris, I just love it when you wrap one of my tumbled stones. That piece of petrified wood just sets off your wrap. LOL. We are supposed to hear this week whether we get a booth at the Second Street Market to sell some of Chris's wraps and my beads and pendants. This would be a real blessing if we get it as this is an art deco type place with hours Thurs & Fri from 11 AM to 3 PM and Sat from 8 AM to 3 PM. Very limited but with a huge audience. It might be just the place to market his beautiful wraps. Tanya

How could you get any better at weaving? I don't see any room for improvement.
