Fantastic work Adrian! You've given me so many great ideas. If I could just bring them to fruit, I'd be a happy man.

You know what would be really cool...mounting a couple of these on a polished piece of Pet Wood! I can see it already. Damn...I wish I could do that. Steve

Adrian, I bet there is nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it. That is amazing work. It is what I was asking about in an earlier thread. I figured you could add as many rocks as you wanted as long as the wire was strong enough. YOu can frame things like this...you don't necessarily need to make them wearable if they are very heavy. I think the sky is the limit on works like this!! Good going, man!! Tony

Thank you very much again to all of you. You really overwhelm me with your appreciations. I'm afraid you could spoil me Come on, any tough words? Didn't anybody really notice the asimmetry in the upper wings? I think it's pretty obvious. How annoying do you find it, on a 1 to 10 scale? Steve and Tony, thank you for the ideas They are really inspirational and I might use them in the future! Adrian

Adrian, I hardly ever noticed the different size of wings. I mean seriously...i'd say a 1 for the least annoying and on a scale from 1 to 10 for perfectness...a big fat 10! You are way too hard on yourself. Steve

Thank you Steve. My fault, I might have speciffied it's not about their size but their position, one is closer to the head than the other.

Hello again everyone, It just was the Christmas Eve here, when we use to open our Christmas gifts. So Ina got the dragonfly and she really enjoyed it a lot! ;D I also made a pendant for Ioana, from a purple Royal Aztec from Steve (StevenHolmes). She simply loves that pendant Thanks again for looking, Adrian

Groove Master: It looks like the family is loving a Daddy that can make jewelry. The dragon fly looks neat as a necklace! Your daughter is just beautiful, neat cab from Steve's material. Hope you had a very happy holiday!

Thank you Amber and RogueTrader.
Rogue, I don't have a scale at hand these days but Ina told me it is perfectly wearable regarding the weight. She forgets she wears it arond the neck after a while, so it's not too heavy I suppose. Sorry I cannot help you more for the moment.

WTG Adrian! You do some of the most creative projects. Your shop must be set-up perfectly to your liking. Great job on both pieces.
