Well, I pulled it off... I worked 4 little tiny stones into one wrap... My mom tumbled some little boulder opal pieces and they came out so nice I had to do something with them. They are too small to put into a pendant so, I figured group a few together.... well, here's my first multi-stone wrap...   ...here's the back... whew, look at that!!!   ... and here's a pic of these stone before I put them in the pendant ( in water so the fire shows better, it really does work  )  I have quite a few more... I'll definately have to try this again ;D. Oh, and it's wrapped in 16, 20, 24, and 26 gauge copper with 24 and 26 gauge silver plated copper in the coils... All from Hobby Lobby if anyone is wondering. So, is this rediculous, or what?!?!?lol  |

Someone else told you not long ago it's time to move on to the next level, to use high end stones in your creations. Which, by the way, are already high-end.
I seccond that opinion.
If you were able to make such a wonderful, symetrical pendant, using those four tumbled stones, you're GOOD!

Chris, I told you I'd be watching! Outstanding piece! Swirle around in the B O's for awhile and then go get you some Coober Pedys and a little vermiel wire and step out a little farther.
Good job.........gary

I gave Chris the Opals that Pporky sent after I tumbled them. Didn't tumble them too long but they are just full of flash. Many thanks to Pporky for those beauties. I wouldn't have had them if he had not sent them. What a gift.
Chris, I love what you did.

Wow, great wrap!
The front is awesome but I actually love all the intricacies in the back. Looks quite tedious to do.

He he he, I thought you guys might like this one  .... Someone else told you not long ago it's time to move on to the next level, to use high end stones in your creations.

Adrian Chris, I told you I'd be watching! Outstanding piece! Swirle around in the B O's for awhile and then go get you some Coober Pedys and a little vermiel wire and step out a little farther. Good job.........gary Adrian and Gary... Maybe some day. Right now I can't afford my own rent  , let alone some nice stones and wire. Belive me, if it weren't for the kindness of you guys ( everyone here on RTH ) I would not even be doing this stuff at all. I owe you all alot... Thanks so much for everything. HA.... well, I don't know about that You are just amazing!!! Wow!!!!! how long did that take you to make it? Not really sure... I did it over two days. Just kind of picking it up and putting it down ( I work on my couch in front of the TV and all my wrapping stuff is on my end table, for easy access). I guess about 10 hours from sketch to finished product, now that I think about it. Chris |
