I haven't been wrapping a lot lately but then I got some inspiring cabs and thought I'd show them off. It's the cabs that make the wraps look good (big thanks to Mudshark for the cabs).  Gem Silica Chrysocolla in sterling silver (this is one of the cabs from Mudshark)  Lapis in gold filled wire (another Mudshark cab). This cab really is that blue with pyrite in the matrix so the gold really set off the colors. I wrapped a few cabs I bought for $2 in Quartzsite too although they are not as good as the previous wraps.  Chrysocolla cab in sterling silver with silver bead accent.  Lavender Ocean Jasper (at least that's what the lady who sold it to me called it) in silver craft wire. It was my first attempt at coiling so didn't want to use the expensive wire. Do you all like the coiling or should I go back to the drawing board? Thanks for looking. |

Keep coiling! Hey the style on that Lapis looks slightly familiar. Nice job on all Diane! Jo

Thank you all. Yes, Jo, that style does look familiar now that you mention it. Maybe a certain wire wrapper's style rubbed off on me... ;D. Actually I meant for it to look like three hearts since I love that cab.

Thank you Nate. I might just have to practice coiling so I can do one in sterling.

Beautiful wraps!! I really like the addition of the one silver bead. I am in awe of anyone who can do the coiling. I think it might drive me nuts. LOL
