I was wrapping to calm my nerves, but now that my grand daughter is finally doing really well, I'm doing it for the fun of it. My grand daughter will have her tube removed tomorrow. Her color is normal, she is wandering out of bed, got a shower and will finally get to eat in a few days. Her spirits are really good, too. Thanks so much for all your well wishes everyone. It was really tense there for awhile.    RS, which began life as an axe head shape. I reworked it to set it like a cab. This is a real nice piece. I have one more very nice one, a gift, which I haven't figured out how to do justice to yet.  Outback which I cabbed myself.  Peridot/bronze composite- like the mojave turquoise. This is very, very nice in person. The bronze adds nice flash to it. Doesn't photograph well, though.  |

I am really happy for you and your grand daughter. One of those life trials that makes you stronger.
If that last one does not photograph well it has to be awesome times ten in the hand. Love your work.

;D Thanks everyone!!
Everyday, the news just gets better. Today the tube was taken out of her stomach and she can probably eat tomorrow. Yay!
Dee, I use a propane torch to make the balled ends. It is 14g wire on the first one and 20g on the last one.
