Yep, he did. Rushed to get the pic up, but now I see a few things I would straighten and tweak, but oh well, here it is...

I've never used two stones in one wrap before, you're two-up on me now. (because I've never made a ring either) That looks cool!! This also opens more possibilities!

Did you use two different size wires. Looks cool.

Yep, used 20 g square for the center wire, which also is the bail wire so it has plenty of strength and fits the groove nicely. the two outer wires are 24g square, twisted it myself.

That looks pretty cool Jo! The 24 gauge wire twisted makes it look delicate. Fran

The first impression , appart from the pleasant look, was "a bit too much wire in the top". But then I noticed you made a human silouhette using the twisted wire for ears. The upper stone is moonstone is it? And the lower one is amethist sage? Anyway it's a beauty. You got more and more tallented and inspired by the day! Adrian PS. Is tha upper stone groove wrapped? It looks like that.

Yep! Adrian said it! ...the person thing with ears, LOL.
Yes, the upper stone is a golden orthoclase moonstone with pink dots and a silver sheen. The bottom is ammy sage. The upper stone is groove wrapped- good eye. I wasn't sure about keeping the swirly wire on it. I knew it was busy, but it made me smile to do it... and... I can always clip it.

I really like this one Jo! Beautiful job. Your creativity is endless. I was going to suggest that this looks like a teddy bear, due to the size of the ears, but I guess Adrian already nailed it as a person.
