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

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

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

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.
