I'm looking to get some ideas for a design on a butt wrap and also some different ideas on the wraps for the guides. Are there any good web sites with pictures and also shows how to do the wraps?

You can do a search on the photo page on this site, then email the builder if you have questions on how it's done.

Feel free to ask here if you have specific questions on a wrap design and someone will help.

There are several books and programs out and around that will provide you with what you want. Bill Vivona's book is a very good one. The old Clemens thread art book is a standard. VisualWrap is an interactive software program that you might like. Check the sponsor links to the left for NERBS and VisualWrap.

Craig, click the photos button at teh top of the forum, then go into teh Thread ARt category. Also go into the guide wraps section. THere are other sites which have a thread where people post their work: [www.stripersonline.com] & [www.noreast.com] After 10 hours of looking through all these photos (lol) - if you have the itch to learn how to do these wraps, teh book I wrote is aimed at teaching just that, with a majority of the patterns you are going ot see coming from my book. Many of these patterns came from Dale Clemens Advanced Custom Thread Art book - so you do ahve a choice which one you decide to go with.

If oyu do get into it and run into questions, post them here and we'll get you going on the right track.
