Now that is fantastic. I like the mix of metals. Gives it a great contrast. Maybe if I keep trying, I can get as good as you. ;D ;D Nah, probably too old and too fat. Ken

hello mr.jack,,,well i make the cross to fit the crystals ok,i then half fill the cross with a special glue,made here in mexico by the indians,and it is something to see making,there are here places where a oozing from the earth a tar like substance ,they combine it with a mixture made from animal hoofs,,,,jack when it hardens i cant get the amesthyst crystal to come out of the silver,i have seen them attach bird points to their wood ,making bird point arrows,,they also use it in making sandals from old tires,they cut the tire thread to fit their foot and then attach the leather to the rubber thread with this glue,so its a good product,,,but jack a small can of it smells like you dont want to smell,,,ok thanks everyone for your kind remarks ab
