The rest of the Build....

 

               

   

Hopefully everyone can get the jist of what I just did and see how this wrap went from starting on a jig to adding a few simple freeform wraps, The tying in of any stones is always a challenge. I continued with the wire across the back of the stone until I got to the far side of the stone and turned to go up alongside the stone, keeping the wire off the face until I am ready to go across and around the backside and back down diagonally on the back and bring the wire around to the front and across the face along the lower part of the stone. Then we tie it where we started from. Hope all of this makes sense. Maybe I will demonstrate the different applications on the next portion. I did try to better photograph the stone while I was wrapping it in, but as usual the pictures blurred so I gave you a few extra shots without the stone to give you a better idea. Then I installed the stone and it's time for final adjustments.
