Not that this is particularly the right thread for this post but if anybody is interested in custom work or having one of these pieces just message me on here and we can work from there! Now my shroomerites - I'm off to sail the whiskey river. Thank you for the feedback, much love, much life, much laughter. Ciao  :bye:

I'm unsure what animal it is from. Wolf. Bear. Shark, something. I got it from panning for gems, red river gorge, KY. The amethyst also came from the same load. I thought about taking apart some old pocket watches and clocks and implementing the gears and such for some heavier steam punk styles.


Yea dude, I'm not really a pendant guy but I'd really dig incorporating clock parts, that'd be sick

And if I might ask - what is your own craft friend?



Oh. Not really as awesome as you but I like polymer clay, painting and drawing. I like to dab my feet into everything tho. I always stop for awhile dealing with personal stuff but I've been working on stuff for almost a year again. I'd love to get into resin tho. I'm all over the place wanting to do a bunch of different things.

Nice tecnique and good execution!

I also like to wrap stones.  Lately I've been using copper wire and the cage method to wrap mostly cabochons.  I really like using malachite, chrysocolla, azure and other copper minerals for them and I think labradorite  (spectralite) looks amazing wrapped in copper.

I bought some star rubies and Opal beads for the craziest necklace yet.  I'm using a really nice ~100ct star ruby and I plan to make some kind of chain out of the Opal beads.  All in solid gold baby haha.  Still holding off until I get some more practice with copper first though and I need to practice making wire bezels.

I'm a rock nut haha.  I have cabochons and rocks all over my coffee table and 3 display cases of specimens :smile: plus many more boxes lol.

I like geology and enjoy going prospecting/rock hunting.  I have found quite a lot of good material and one day I plan to get a lapidary set up so I can polish my own stones.

Freaking cool. It's amazing how many shroomerites wire wrap stones!!

I loved taking my geology class. Neat stuff. Plus my teacher looked like Cary Elwes in his prime.

As a kid I always loved the Idea of treasure hunting and to me prospecting for rocks and minerals is like that.  Doing the hunt, researching, looking over maps, scouring for rumors.... then taking an adventure into the wild and fining a cache of crystals or minnerals is such a rush!  The natural beauty is wonderful and nice stones are like capsuals of it.  I can understand why people are inspired metaphysically about them, they have interesting natural properties.

Alright guys. Just completed this piece and it's available. What do you think? Amethyst and a green tourmaline inlay. Taken in natural sunlight. No photo filter.

Nicely done?  How much do you charge for one like that? I'm curious.

It depends on the stone, material, complexity and the time I put in anywhere between $40-100 a piece typically. The one I just posted I could settle for $70 on it

If you've never had a wrap - you need to get one, and if you have a wrap - you should post it below. I want to see some fire

So do you first do a thicker wire skeleton, and then weave the thinner wires through? I see a lot of people doing this style, but ive never been able to pull it off. This is the best thing ive ever wrapped imo:




Raw Emerald


also made a pair of dabbers once:


Amazonite and tigers eye

second best:

Green Aventurine

70 is a great deal I think.  I know how much work and planning it takes.  I know a guy who wraps the same style, only he does bigger, finer, more elaborate ones out of solid gold and silver and he charges upwards of $1000 or more for some of the best ones... 

I'll post up some of mine in a bit, gotta get up and take some pics first.

Yeah I've spent way too much money on rocks.  My problem now is I have too much to wrap and not enough time/interest at the moment.  Thinking about opening a booth next time the rock show comes to town.
