I wrapped the cross I made for the Tutorial last year... thought some might like to see it.... Mookaite and gold filled wire. Looks like a cat hair made it into this photo... Here's the tutorial on how I make the crosses in case anyone's interested..... (Adobe Reader required) davidsonoftulloch.net/rocks/blarney/tutor/crstutor.pdfThanks Dan

Hey Dan! That pattern is awesome! and I'm not big on crosses but that style makes them look pretty cool right about now...

Thanks folks! It took me 3 tries before I was satisfied with it. Jack~ Thank you Sir.... of course I don't mind the link... it was your crosses that originally inspired me to try my own. Your tip is a great addition. Marni~ This one was made for SilverLass in GA... she already has it. Your mom's is almost done... Dan

Junk, just junk, thats all it is. Looks like a piece of tin outta a scrap yard. Blarney, you know I'm only messing with you, otherwise I wouldn't want more of them.
