Darn!!! Again here is an example of someone who has better "junk" than my good stuff!!
Great job on all of them - the most beautiful stuff is often found hiding in an ugly package! - those definitely do NOT look like crap!

thanks all for your kind words. the pendant i did the silver work. its funny but i kinda had to start doing silver work. i got started doing lapidary over some beach rocks that i had pick up. anyway i ended up with a lot of cabs. and nothing to do with them. but where i work for years. i had collected the contact points out of some high voltage starters. the points are made of pure silver. i had over four pounds of it. so i ended up doing silver work. mike
