These are some wraps I have done lately. Hope you like em. ;D
This is the first pyrite cab I have made. OMG!!! what a mess it makes. The water on my wheels looked like black ink. I found some stones with a lot of pyrite chunks in them in a slag pile from an old mine. This is not a very good cab as it has a lot of pits in it. I just made it as an experiment.
The preform stage made such a mess, I almost quit. but I continued and then the shine that the polishing wheels put on it is incredible. A mirror finish. I can't get a good picture as it literally reflects everything like a mirror. You can see me in the reflection and the reddish purple of my house. I will make more of these and set up a light box to get better photos. I wrapped this one in gold colored copperwire.
a laker which Diane gave me when she came to visit. Thank you Diane. I decided that I really like Lakers. If anyone has some to sell, or trade, let me know. I wrapped this one in Silver plated wire. It has crack in it but I like it anyway. I am wearing it now.
I make so many wraps, that now I save the gold and real silver wire for only the perfect cabs.
This is my very first goldstone cab. I bought a chunk of this at the recent rock show. I also bought some purple goldstone but have not cabbed it yet. I wrapped this one in gold filled.
This is a black and white lace agate. It is groove wrapped and woven with argentium silver.
This was a very small slab I bought at the same rock show. Only big enough for one cab. but it called to me. It is wrapped in argentium silver.
Thanks for lookin.
