Hi everyone, I just finished that pendant for Ina's birthday. Here are some pics from the progress: Here are the five petals (some plume I think), the middle (a nice orbicular material, it was soft and took a dull shine but I think it's propper for the midle) and two smaller cabs for matching ear rings: Ioana helped me in choosing the materials and I think she was inspired. Notice the double grooved middle of the flower: Then I started to wrap the petals: I wrapped them one by one, until I wrapped all of them. Then, when I finished the coil of the 5th petal, I cut it and, together with the coil I ACCIDENTALLY CUT THE REST OF THE WIRE !!! So I had to rework all the five petals again. Much more careful when I cut the wires, this time. And here it is, finished: Thank you for looking, Adrian

I can't decide if that's the Bee's Knees or the Cat's Pajamas.
Either way it's EXCELLENT, Daddy O!!!
Happy Birthday Ina! ;D

I am totally amazed! I never would have thought of double grooving the center stone. That is an excellent way of tying it all together. I like it!! Good design idea and workmanship, thank you for showing it.

Thank you so much Adrian! You had a wonderful idea! Everything is great: the pattern , the colours of the petals!
Today I wore it at the office and all my colleagues noticed the new pendant. All of them admired it.
Congratulations Adrian!
