Finished this one, after I took the pic I adjusted the two wires against the stone in the front so they were more centered. Thanks for looking!   |

I can dig it Mike
The reason I ask
Is that Iām starting to crank up
w/ the heart pendants
and not sure what to do with them ha
my process is starting to get pretty productive
w/ what I feel is a confident product
you definitely have hit that mark!
that one nice pendant!
the longer shape
with the curvy top rolls
a streamline stream
w/minimum of wire
that rocks
guess what I'm trying to say
is its got a bit of hart shape

And yep, I think your hearts should sell just fine... However, you might have to talk to someone smarter than me about online selling.  Or maybe we'll figure it out together! |

Pretty pendant! That Leopardskin cab is awesome.
Glad you adjusted that wire to center it. It's a great wrap now!  |

That looks good, Mike. I have never done a tradtional wrap, only groove wraps. I might make it a winter project to learn how to do these. I like this one a lot because it is neatly done and very simple. I don't like too many curly wires.

I like this one a lot because it is neatly done and very simple. I don't like too many curly wires. Thanks Rob! That's funny, someday I want to get into groove wraps. You should, it's kind of fun- and a little frustrating. I probably could have not pulled in the side wires on this one quite as much and exposed more of the stone- but I still worry about the cabs being secure, maybe more than I should. I'm trying to do a little of both kinds of wraps, both with a lot of curly wires and some without because I really think it's a matter of personal taste. And once I finally try to sell some I figure I only have to make one person happy with them, right?  |

I like the split bail at the top. The stone is cool. I wish I could find some like that. Maybe when I travel to some place like Tibet some day, leading a 5 vehicle caravan in to the sun scorched nether reaches where water and life is almost non-existent or something. I like the color of the binding wire that it matches the color in the rock. It is a smart choice I think. When I do creative stuff like this my wife starts complaining that it will never get worn. But I like it.

Why didn't I comment on this one before?!?! What the heck was wrong with me in September?  I really like how the yellow tones in the pattern flowed down the length of the cab and went to the lowest point. Great capture on on this one Mike. Leopardskin Jasper...another material on my "to get" list! LOL |
