Hello, everyone!

This is a sort of cab I did today. Double domed, about 14 mm max thickness, 48 mm length. It is double domed. It is a free form, the "eye" or maybe "cloud in the sky" pattern demanded that shape

It's too big for a pendant in my opinion. I don't know what to do with it. A Key holder maybe? Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Adrian

Nice job!!

I'd probably just buy a small display easel and put it on my desk or something

That's a really great looking cab, Adrian. I can see why you chose to leave it so big. I have to admit, I rather like big cabs...they have a great hand feel, don't they?

Perhaps a "pocket stone" or "worry stone" just to be had and felt. I have one from the mountains and every time I hold it it's like I'm right there again.

How about a chain pull for a ceiling fan or something like that?

Give them to you wife and she can have that very attractive "stretched earlobe" look. What do you think? Great work, mate. Mike
