Here are my three newest ones. I tried something new with this bail since I thought the rock itself was sort of blah...the cab came from my rock neighbor. It's two strands of sq 22g hh ss. Front:  Back:  This is a snowflake obsidian (my least favorite but my husband liked it). Two strands of round 22 g deadsoft ss. Front:  Back:  This is my favorite. Took a while to come together. I couldn't figure out how to deal with all the wires. Four strands of dead soft 22g round ss. It's a tigereye stick from my last tumble but one. Front:  Back:  Thanks for looking. Criticism is welcome. |

I really like the snowflake one the best! I really like the circle effect. The bail on the first looks really interesting. It would be neat to see a closeup of the bail on that one and the back on the second....? Nice job.

Critisism: Pics too small, need close ups. *smile* Herm those are wonderful, I can't quite tell what you did with the bail on the top one though and I'd really like to see a closer upper of that tiger eye.

I like the snowflake one too, I've always liked the stone. I still have a box of obsidian that I haven't even touched yet (saving for a rotary). Great job on the wire darlin, those turned out awesome!

Way to go on the Tigerseye. is it the picture, or did you use gold for the binding wraps?

Thank you for the closeups! I LOVE the bail on the first, the round circle on the second and the way you tied off the "sash" part on the tiger eye. Great work!

Nice wraps I really like the tigerseye but like everyone else the bail on the 1st one is very interesting. I was trying to do what you done with the 2nd one the other day and never did get it right but was very tired and didn't have a lot of time so I'll be trying it again. Thanks for show us the backs.
