I have been enjoying all of the beautiful work you have all done! I rarely log in anymore but check in about weekly just to see what you are all doing and it is all fantastic!
I recently lost my dad and while in Arkansas, my cousins daughter (12) asked if I could make jewelry out of a few little items my dad had gotten her when they went to swap meets or yard sales. Nothing expensive, just that they meant something to her. A tumbled stone and a piece of glass marble, I flattened the backs and just did glue on bails but one item was difficult. I wasn't sure if it was plastic, fiber optics or glass. It was a thick heart rounded on both sides so wire wrapping was really the only way I could do it. The wire I used was very hard and took a bit of work so even though it is not to your caliber, I think she will be happy with it. Found a couple little glass hearts to kind of match and made earrings out of them.
I finally made a set out of rhodocrosite (maybe rhodonite...) I cabbed for her so thought I would post them, if I can remember how...
Fiber optic heart?
Tumbled stone I re polished on my geni
Glass marble halved and re polished
Set I cut

Thanks for looking
