Hello, everyone! Here are the three pendants I've finished yesterday. The one in the left is Willow Creek, cab made by Ina. The one in the middle is Rocky Butte, from a slab sent to me by Tony-Catmandewe. A lot of elements in that scene - lake, mountain, trees, birds. The one in the right is an Owyhee, also pictural and also from a slab sent by Tony. Thank you again, Tony, for such high grade materials. Here they are, in three pics from various angles: . Thanks for looking, Adrian

Beautiful cabs! Your groove wraps display the stones in all their beauty. My personal taste is less is more when it comes to the amount of wire.

Those are fantastic Adrian, I love the way that you wrapped them no distaction to the beautiful cabs. How do you do that type of wrap? Do you first have to cut some sort of groove around the side of the cab for the wire to go into? If so what tool do you use to make the groove? Stu Are any of these for sale?

Thank you everyone! Grayfingers, thank you for posting the link to my tutorial. Stu, that might answer some of your questions. As for selling them, no I don't. So far, I never sold any pendant I've made. Gave some as gifts and prizes, though. I want to keep my hobby unspoiled by the selling thing. Plus, once I make them it's hard to give them away Adrian

Adrian, your and Ina's work is fanastic! These have to be 2 of the best scenes I've seen in a cab, and Ina's willow creek is outstanding.
