Here's a Cheetah Agate made from some material brybry sent me. Thanks Bry! I tried the craft wire twist again on this one...and I just had to put a "tail" on the front... Thanks for taking a gander!   |

Nice cab and wrap! The copper matches the agate perfectly. I've got a ton of cabs dopped and preformed that I need to work on tomorrow.

Gorgeous work as usual! I really like the black/copper twist. Thanks my friend! I had twisted that copper and black the other day as my "test" piece to see if that would work. It did! LOL - I knew exactly which cab is was going to be used on and had to hurry up to get it off dop last night before American Idol started, so I could wrap it while listening to the show! LOL Dang, Jason! THAT is awesome! I like the black and copper a lot with that cab and the tail. Great design! Thanks Tela! There's a "soft" spot on that cab which undercut and wouldn't polish...the "white area". So, I knew I was going to use a design to try and "cover" that...and voila...it hit me a Cheetah needed a tail! LOL  Awesome wrap! Thanks Robin! I actually had fun while doing this wrap. As I got closer to getting ready to pin the tail on the Cheetah, I was getting more excited about it! LOL Thanks Nate! Once in awhile Hephaestus* looks down on me and smiles!  *Yes...I had to Google it! LOL |

Very, very nice. I'm gonna nit pick but just because you are so good already. Watch tool marks, especially at the end of the curl

Nice to see you getting in touch with your feline side. I really like that tail! Thanks my friend! That side is deep down...WAY deep down! LOL Very, very nice. I'm gonna nit pick but just because you are so good already. Watch tool marks, especially at the end of the curl Thanks Ali! I wondered who was going to finally say something about that! LOL - Believe it or not, you can barely see that with the naked eye. I didn't even see it until after the pic was taken. I decided I'm actually going to give this a Liver of Sulpher bath, so a little filing job with my wife's emery board...a little patina...and it shouldn't be an issue. I have to wait until she goes to bed before I raid her manicure tools! LOL |

jasoninsd- What I usually do and count on doing is to snip off the tip that got mangled and do it again neater. I use tiny pliers that really bite the end of the wire, so I am used to doing it.

The camera has a way of picking that. A small flush cutter will do the job as well
It also helps give it a better coil

Thanks Tela - I may end up doing that if the file/patina doesn't fix it... The camera has a way of picking that.

That's why I'm not in a lot of pictures...I have too many tool marks that show up! LOL |

What I HEARD was, "See...there's tool marks!" - What they actually SAID was, "See...there's a tool!" LOL |

Beautiful job including the tail. Thanks Diane! I probably should have waited to post pics until the patina was put on...but I was excited about showing this one! LOL |
