Just finished number 2. Who knew gold was so dirty? Not terribly flattering and now that I see a close up picture I can make out the mistakes better.   edit to add- got better pictures.  |

I like the naturals and finish them by hand with water rubbing on wet sandpaper. They are kinda tricky to cut. The surface likes to chip off. I will sell them as is and let the buyer cut and etc... The way they prefer...(Run some polish on the material,to show the colors,also) |

Beautiful. I like that you used round wires on this. I have done that a few times as well.

I traced a couple of cabs and added details of how I was going to silversmith them.
My wife took a look & drew one into a cat face & the other into a pig face.
From then on, we referred to them as the cat & pig pendants!

It does look like a cat! I think they’re in your subconscious.
