Thanks for looking

Love how it glows in the light.

snowmom, I probably have around 40 hours into this one. I started it in early Jan, and have worked 4-5 hours on it each weekend since. Each bead takes about 2.5x longer than making a cab, though I am getting faster with practice. The Glow! That was my inspiration for starting the project. I noticed that a double cab I made from the same material really glowed in the light. The back side acts like a focusing mirror so a round stone focuses the light inside the bead, making it glow.

Chuck, I was worried it would be too heavy, but it is less than a pound all together. I imagine it could feel heavy if worn for a long time.

My scrap bucket is a lot heavier for sure. A lot of material was sacrificed to find matching color, and you can still see subtle differences between each bead in low light conditions.

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)
