Been having fun lately making simple wraps on cabochons (flat-back stones without holes.) These are all done with pure copper wire which I then patina with liver of sulfur and then hand burnish to bring out the highs-and-lows in the copper. All of these are dainty little pieces!
left: mixed impression jasper (a composite or “mosaic” stone upcycled from various cuttings of other stones into a new stone)
right: carved labradorite
larimar - a volcanic stone found only in the Dominican Republic
blue lapis lazuli
matte riverstone
blue impression jasper
purple impression jasper
2x mixed impression jasper
So yeah, I’ve been on a mini swirly kick lately.

Wow, stunning! I love the luminosity of the larimar. Your wire wrapping is so beautiful, and I love the patina you got with the liver of sulphur.

That larimar is gorgeous! And the wirework looks like someone with a very fancy up-do!
