I haven't been here in a while, but it's nice to see familiar names, and new ones! I took a before and after shot for fun, and thought I'd share ;D Before:  ..and After:  The main cab is turritella. I LOVE cabbing turritella. The green cab? A freebie about 20 years old I got in a grab bag from Fire Mountain. Also, freshwater pearls and a sterling silver bead. Mostly wrapped in sterling and gold filled 28 gauge wire. It's called 'OZ' |

NIce wrap, how long does that take you to make? Looks extremely complicated and time consuming.

Randy!!  I'll have to keep posting, waiting to hear you say 'darlin'! Amyk, I really don't know for sure how long it takes me. But basically a day of working, getting up to do the dishes, work a little, do laundry, work a little, eat....and so on. I know it's a matter of taste, but I really love doing it. I started wrapping about the time I started on this forum. I just have to be careful about what I share here, with all these devout rock fans, lol, because sometimes the wire covers parts of the stone (oh nooooz!!), lol. |

The chaotic wires in the first pic shows off the beauty of the finished pendant. I missed your pendants lately. Glad to see you back.

Dee, first thing to learn here is that everyone has different tastes. You have such dramatic flair and expression and you should never hesitate to show it off here. Some will like and some won't. But the bottom line is you do some amazing work! I can't even begin to understand how you can control all of that wire! It is, simply put, artistry!!! Do not stay away so long! I miss seeing these complex pieces!
