Figured I'd post another to show I haven't been completely idle. This is a bracelet with rhyolite. Jo

I've done better work, but this was the 1st time I did this & I was trying to work out a few things. Jo

Yea, well it still looks great! Far beyond my current skill level,lol! It looks like it must have been somewhat time consuming. I like it. Mike

Very creative and stylish. May be a lot of wire but it doesn't look overdone. I look forward to the next one! Susan

Jo, you did a great job with the bracelet. I love the way you created the clasp and with all that 1/2 round wrapped around the band, this beauty must be heavy!

Thanks for all the kind words.
It's really not heavy. It's wrapped around 22 ga square sterling (HH) with 22 ga hh 1/2 round. I've got lots of rhyolite (seems to grow wild in AZ), & I really enjoy working it up,since it takes such a great shine.
