Playing with Settings

It's always fun to think about different ways to frame the game pieces, I think.
I've been looking at youtube videos of how to wire wrap a gemstone, but my attempts have been a bit sad.
As soon as the wrap isn't completely symmetrical it looks like a bodge job, and if its deliberately really random, then, well, same result.

But if I keep it very simple, just one length of wire all around and then maybe more of a flourish at the top, then it looks much better.



Only thing is, that it won't be as secure as a wrap around, but I think I have fixed that, by giving the tiles tiny grooves in the corners to keep the wire in place.
