pdwight sent me a piece of ocean jasper for me to make him a pendant. i thought this would make a nice look for a man. i still have to polish it. what do y'all think?

kim

all finished up after much serious brain power to decide how to get the look i wanted. i've got to redo the leather cord as i used the slip knot technique so he could make it longer or shorter. but unless he has a head the size of a pea, i didn't get it long enough. you do have a regular head right dwight?

I think it would be fine for a guy, please be sure to take a pic after it's wrapped ok.

thanks rich. no i don't mind at all if you copy it. i bound 5 small wires and brought 4 through the hole from the back side for the bail, used 1 for wrapping the bail and secured the other 5 on the back side.
