Well it wasn't long ago I joined this board and I was just tumbling. One thing lead to another and this hobby seems to morph. Now I'm wire wrapping silversmithing, making gem trees and making Jewelry. I know I don't post my stuff often. I guess I'm just to lazy to get the camera out. Well I took some pictures today of a few things to show how far I've come.

Biggs set in silver

Wire Wrap (My wife did. he he he I'm slowly getting her addicted) I did the stone.

Unknown Jasper set in silver (This was one of my first silver pieces)

I have a new gem tree design I recently did I'll try and post Wednesday when I can take a photo of it.

Now that I have a full work shop set up in the basement I'll try and post more pics.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
