So I decided to give the Para Wire a shot. I am used to using half-hard silver wire.
This is the first time I have tried dead soft wire. It took a little getting used to but it sure is easier to make swirls with. I used half hard half round wire for all the wraps and dead soft square for the frames..

This is a an 11.2 ct 16mm x 18mm x 7mm Contra Luz Mexican Fire Opal in Vintage Bronze

This next one I also did in Vintage Bronze it is some sort of Mexican Agate

This one is some Chrysocolla in copper

I like this combination the best!!

Red and green just go together. Beautiful stones!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
