I had a pretty productive weekend (for me) and got some pendants wrapped in time for Christmas. Red Creek Jasper in copper.  back  This one Bikerandy gave me. I don't know what it is but it is wrapped in copper.   Howlite in Silver.   Mookaite wrapped in gold.   Rose quartz in gold.   This one I forgot what it is. Maybe someone knows what it is.  Thanks for looking. Merry Christmas everybody. Kevin |

Now, that's what I call productive! Nice work! I like the last one a lot. But, the heart one is pretty sweet, too. All are very nice and it looks like you are already developing your own style. Love the metals and patinas.

Those are all great. I like how you use coiling in the bails. The Mookaite is my favorite one of these.

Well Daddio I know we don't know each other at all but I so love you for showing the backs of your cabs. I ALWAYS want to see the backs cuz I never know how to finish them. Those look fabulous and you did a fabulous job on them. Is the copper "blackened" I don,t know what the actual name is.
Love your work

Thanks Tweetiepy, I also appreciate when I can see how the back is finished. I have been trying different ways but kinda fell into a pattern on these. The blackening or patina is done with liver of sulphur. I burnish the wrap before applying the finish.
