DONE with 8 days to spare ! Life is good today  I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my sister has taken to attending rock shows & buying slabs for me. I'm not sure why she's doing this, but I think she's enjoying it for some reason-so who am I to argue. So I picked 2 of the slabs she gifted me & put them together for a present for her upcoming visit. Deep green moss agate round "bail" and Fancy Jasper pendant
I'm pretty happy the way it came out & with any luck, she'll like it. If she doesn't, I'll just kill her, and keep it for myself !  Thanks for looking, Patty |

I like how you did that!! It's a great piece! How long is it? Did you follow a tute or is this all Patty? I hope she likes it because it would be terrible to have to kill your sister.  |

Thanks Tela, All Patty on this one, no tute.
I like that I did the "hold down wires" and the back, hammered -not sure if you can tell in the photo, that it's not tool marks but hammer marks. They just seem less that way. It's long @ 3 3/4" total, but I think it's very wearable, especially since it's long BUT not also wide.
Now, IF I told my sister that I intentionally made the pendant long & narrow as a slimming effect, she might just kill me.
So maybe not.
Patty

I was thinking to myself, man you must really love your sister to make her something so special. Put down the katana, I’m positive your sister will love it as much as you love her. That’s an incredible thoughtful and beautiful gift. She’s going to shower you with love for this one (Katana was chosen because of its elegance. You seem like a classy lady) |

Wow, liveoak Patty, what a fantastic pendant! It's beautiful and you're sister will love it. No killing going on either way, except for you killing that design. |

Snappy looking! I like how the copper compliments the colors of the stones.
