Yeah, I kept it simple on this one...

A couple of days ago I scrapped a wrap I was about 3/4 finished with. It was quite complex with coils and weaves and stuff, but it looked like crap.... so I took my cutters and went on a cutting spree and freed the crystal. I was about 5 hours into the wrap, by the way.... needless to say, it was kind of frustrating

I decided, that before I try that crystal again, I'm going to do a few quick and simple wraps...

This one is a piece of brecciated jasper I got from my Mom ( I can't remember who gave it to her ) wrapped in 2 pieces of 18 silver plated copper, and 24 ga for the binds.

Here's the back... I've pretty much completely hidden the wire ends, so this is really the other front.

Can you find the ends?

That's gorgeous, Chris - simple and elegant. I'm thinking the ends wound up inside the bottom 2 bindings?

Do you start with the bail on something like this one? I've always had such a hard time trying to get the bail to look decent after I think I've done a good job on the body ...

I found the ends too, all 4 of them. Well, I know where they must be even though I can't see them. Lee

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
