I've been at this obsessively for a little over 5 months. I incorporated my first basket weave last week into a ruby cabochon lapel pin for my Dad's birthday. I'm currently getting ready for Art in the Park, an arts and crafts show in Foley, AL -- May 12, 13

Bird charm wrap
I'd been saving this pendant for something cool, so I wrapped it with moldavite and aquamarine.

My second wrap
I did this one in Dec. 2006. It's actually worse looking than my first, but it's nice to see improvement.

First attempt at incorporating basket weave
This looks much larger than it is in real life. It's a ruby cabochon lapel pin/tie tack for my dad's birthday. He has the misfortune of having to wear suits to work.

I love metalworkers.org because it's given me a great place to look back at my wire-wrap progress. My gallery "begins" with my second wrap in Dec. 2006, and I love being able to look back and see when I learned key skills and the progress I've made with them.

I currently sell my wraps in 7 stores throughout the eastern U.S., and I've been using the profits to put together a lapidary workshop. I'll be all set up to cut and polish my own cabochons soon, and eventually I hope to learn some faceting techniques.
