I've never posted a photo on here before so here goes nothing. A friend of mine from Atlanta wrapped some of my favorite self-collected minerals a few years ago. Clockwise from top: Walker Creek kyanite, amethyst from old mine outside of Highlands, NC, Topaz Mountain sherry Topaz, indicolite tourmaline from the Bob Ingersoll Mine outside of Custer, SD, and blue barite from Stoneham, CO. Hope this works!  Just thought I'd throw up a wrap that's a little more complex. Hope y'all like it! Lawrence |

WOW, that's awesome, that looks very similar to the work a member of hipforums.com used to post, just found his website again: www.nattywraps.com/I believe his name is Isaac. |

That looks very similar to a wrap that Drew did that I look at everytime he has his stuff out. Way cool!

The kid who did it taught himself from looking at other wraps he had seen for sale. He called the technique "textiling". This was one of his early pieces, I'm sure if he's still wrapping he's very good now.
