rockin wraps

[crystalchemy]

one of my newer pieces..

securing all the stones in an open-face frame using only the tension of the wires was a challenge. (no adhesives, no solder, no heat. only pliers and wires)

Beautiful frame, Richie, but you minimized the feat when you said only pliers and wires. Should you add imagination, determination, manual dexterity, persistence and patience to that list?

[crystalchemy]

if I didn't minimize I'd have words for days.
less writing=more wrapping

Dang, that looks labor-intensive. Love all the detail in the wrapping, that large piece of (meteorite im guessing?) is really unique and cool looking.

[CrossfireBusiness]

oh my! That about wraps it up!

Man I have only seen one other guy that can do work like that and I think he was from Belgium. You have a very unique ability and mind and fingers and o- right minimize.
Keep it up. Love the pix. Jim
