Dragon eye is in a handflower, found the other Malachite on the internet, knowing they would go perfectly together. The earrings have malachite chips.  Tami |

I have been thinking about the the cabs and the chainmail, what a great combo, your name fits once again.
Those should be in a art gallery, but the name has to be there also. Otherwise dopes like me will go to bed late in the night and suddenly realize "I get it". Thankfully I "got it" before that happened.

Beautiful job Tami - that is some really small byzantine you got going there. What material are your rings? I wanted to do a Jap 12-2 draped necklace and those rings look like they would be a great material to use - love the colors & you did a great job on the wrap & the weave Euro is one of my favorites...

Dragon Eye is the cab that I won in a contest here on this site a couple of years ago, it wasn't until recently that I finally found a home for it. Desertdweller, I worked on it for two days, if I hadn't had other things to do I could have done it in a lot less time. For those that asked about the wire the gold is tarnish resistant gold with the main base of copper, the green is vinyl coated copper. I get my wire at www.parawire.com the larger piece of Malachite really wasn't too bad, I got it off of e-bay, but when I saw it I just had to have it. Kim all the stone in the set are Malachite. Tweetiepy, if I remember right the ring size is either 2.5 mm. |

Kim, it's a handflower - it goes around the wrist and the small sections go around the fingers

Tweetiepy is correct, the small rings go on the fingers and the other part goes around the wrist.
