I like that look but there's something that will no let me leave the end of a wire loose. Those are really nice, you da gal!!

lol stoner i did. the one and only rock show i've ever been to. all they had was jewelry - no rough. i got a handful of cabs for a steal. what i wanted was rough rocks and slabs though! i'd only had my genie a month when i went and these looked better than mine. i got some really big ones too. i don't know what i'm goin to do with them - maybe belt buckles. also got some big ones with holes drilled in them - a bit large for pendants in my opinion - any ideas for them?

Rocky - What kind of wire (shape, guage, hardness) are you using to wrap the bails? It looks like a smaller guage and maybe different shape? (round - square - half round?) I'm guessing half round.
Just trying to learn as much as I can before ruining several feet of wire!

Thanks,
Dan

the 1st one has 22 gauge square wire with 22 gauge 1/2 round to bind wrap and bail. the 2nd one has 22 guage round and square with 22 gauge 1/2 round to bind wrap and bail. all are dead soft but as soon as i run out of this 1/2 round wire i've got 1/2 hard 22 gauge to try.

Yours are phenomenal!
