I didn't cut my wire long enough so this one didn't finish in a way that I can put it on eBay or sell it to anyone but it'll go as a gift anyway. I'm going to string it on a piece of black leather cord. I am definitely going to use this pattern again though. I have some really pretty green stuff in 1000 grit right now that will look great with this webbing. I am soooo enjoying this!

Thanks for looking,

Cher

That's just one pendant KD, two views. The wire is 22 gauge Colourcraft, the joints are beads. I sent a pic to a friend of mine and she told me if I don't put it on eBay I'm crazy. I'm thinking I'll re-wrap it tomorrow when I have some daylight again and then put it up just as a pendant. Although I do have the leather that I could put it on and make it a necklace too.
*smile* Your birthday is in October, I remember that, it's the 19th.

They look just terrific!

Thanks for the compliments!! ;D No Banjo, it doesn't come like a net, I put the beads on. Had to redo them several times to get them in the right places and keep the wires straight so they didn't cross over. I was putzing around with trying to wrap two wires togeher and keep them straight. That was ok, but in trying to get to the next spot in the net, they didn't want to move so easy so I started trying beads. Was just lucky to have these little tiny things on hand.

Those are really nice looking. A good balance, they are not cluttered, and the gold really goes well on the quartz. I'm gonna hafta try that. I like it!

It's the way I had to finish the top when I brought the four wires together. I ran short on one piece so the wrap is shorter on one side. This caused a problem in how I could bring the other two up to meet each other and also there's one little end pointing out, I couldn't get it tucked in underneath. It really doesn't look bad, it's just me but practice is good so I'm going to redo it tomorrow.

A little question about the eBay idea. Would it be better to put it on a leather cord or just have the pendant by itself?

Ok, here it is on a black leather cord. I redid it because
I just didn't like the bail. This one turned out good. LOL
Pho, I can tell you how I did it, don't know if that will
teach you to do it or not.
