It has been a long time since I have made anything. I tend to get discouraged when thinking about a piece. So after a lot of inspiration from reading other threads and seeing everyone's creations. I went for it no plans just metal, rocks, and fire. This was the out come after my battle this was the out come. Rose bud agate, and tiger iron also a bit of turquoise. Note to self order heavier bezel wire. My biggest obstacle was to understand you are only limited by yourself. Take a chance. #1 rosebud agate #2 tiger iron #3 tiger iron with hidden bail #4 turquoise "Royston" I stepped outside my boundaries and limits. I pushed my self to make something .i originally started with the tiny turquoise cab. With intentions of make a tear drop pendant. In the process it bloomed into the flower. And then I had to make a bail to bring it together. When that was done I picked out a few cabbs I made awhile back. And bam just like that I had 3 more piece's. So to anyone wanting to do something or thinking about it. Just grab your material and go for it.

Metal, Rocks and Fire is the only way to roll. Too much thinking gets in the way. The bails are to die for! Nice work. Vic

I never have a plan and if I do it usually is changed as I go. Great job .... Listen to the stone.

Beautiful pendants. So glad you decided to sit down and let the muse come to you.
The bails on the flower and the rose bud agate are awesome! The little rose at the top of the bail is the perfect touch!
Hope to see many more from you now.

Thank you everyone. It was fun to let the piece's create them selves the bails on the flower and rosebud agate where inspired by the piece's a had a couple simple choices but in the end the only thing that would make the piece be complete is to have a hand made bail. The tiger iron I used came from a huge chunk I picked up awhile back. It did not have a lot of flash but the pattern's in it where beautiful .
