Posted by Gutes on 9/6/2007
Been wrapping now since August '07, just beginning and trying to find my own flow. any criticism is constructive, so whatever you've got to say, just lay it on me. also, if anyone wants to tell me where to get good supplies(all different kinds of wire and stones) please tell me, i've been having much trouble with that.

Teddy's wrap

Teddy's wrap

the pale blue center piece is a mystery stone for now (we found it in the quartz bin somewhere, bit it's definitely not quartz) and will be until I see a gemologist about it, the smaller stone tucked underneath the big one is a clear tourmaline.
**NFS**

this was the first time i had ever tried teaching someone how to wrap. my friend asked me to show him how to wrap, so i told him to what to buy and did the best i could to show him and let him work on the piece as well. i think we did pretty good for a one sitting piece.

What up Gutes
Hey, thanks for all of the amazing encouragement! Glad you like the new stuff man, I'm pretty psyched about it too! Oh yeah, look on Ebay for stones, you can usually find some pretty sick specimens on there. :-)

hi
thanks for the kind words, the wrap is actually maybe 3/4 of an inch, it just looks bigger in the pic, as there is nothing to give it perspective.

you didn't see THIS piece because I'm wearing it in SF. BUT you must've seen the "results of cross-creeding" cause I sold it to a friend in Milwaukee and I KNOW he was at those shows, thanks for the props, bless!
