I don't have a perfect solution for you except to try your best to keep it exactly where you want it with your free fingers and keep going to the next layer. Usually if you can get a couple more layers it will be where you want it. If it is still not where you want them you can weave a little on the backside to keep the back in place or tie a knot on the backside with thin reed to keep them where you want them.

But I am sure I probably tucked the loose ends in around the back. I work with wet reed so when it dries it usually tightens up a bit and things hold snug.

How do you finish the wrapping at the back to get the ends to stay in place?

Easier to manipulate and better on my hands. :D Recently, I found a book called A Time to Weave by Jane Patrick. It has several weaving ideas that can be used for rocks, and one that is done with a rock. That's all I could find, but I'll take your advice and try my hand at easy designs and deconstruct them on paper before I give it a try.

I was thinking maybe this summer I might offer a few courses on block printing on fabric, but I could also have one on rock wrapping. I also recommend picking a design you like and just trying to make it. It is best to soak the reed first in water...it helps it to tighten up when it dries.Nessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162374688956449698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262034438607647152.post-75136648146961322792017-02-28T09:25:08.897-05:002017-02-28T09:25:08.897-05:00I searched for books on the topic, but didn't ...I searched for books on the topic, but didn't find any. :~(<br />Your work is so beautiful, I'd like to try my hand at it.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804727293534470459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2262034438607647152.post-38060879619061121922017-02-27T22:16:48.000-05:002017-02-27T22:16:48.000-05:00Thank you J.M.
