Title: Howdy Y'all! I found my way back...
Post by: rockjunquie on October 18, 2016, 07:04:49 PM

Oooooooo, look at all the icons I can use....   Sorry, I was distracted.   :WEEEE:

I lurked a lot at the old board and posted some stuff, but mostly some people might know me from the other board.

Anyway, I cut my first tooth. Cab, that is. Then an idea for a wrap floated in my head till I got 'er done today. It's totally new for me. I can't remember a wrap with an open bottom. Even the quartz points I've done weren't open ended.

This is an old school, very purple Burro Creek.

When I got done with it, I did a couple more.

Mexican turquoise w/ red matrix

Here's one from a few days ago that I especially like. A beautiful charoite.

So, that's my way of introduction. I cab and I wrap and sometimes I silver smith.

Thanks for looking!

Hey, thanks guys.

I have so little time to play on the computer.... well, most days, anyway. But, I'll try to be around as much as I can.

Nice wrapping as it doesn't hide the stones.  Hate when the wrapper has a nice stone and covers it over with wire.

Thank you! All of my wraps tend to be pretty simple as far as frills and curls go.

I just used the new way to add a picture.... we'll see if it works.

edit- Well, I see it works. It's smaller, but you can click on it to see a larger version.

Nice pieces.  I really like the opposing loops on the Burro.  The details on the 3 twisted wire bail for the Charoite is also excellent.  Welcome back!

Thanks, it's nice to be back. I see a lot of familiar names and some new ones, too.
