Well, this is what I Sunday while Peyton Manning picked apart the Jets ( damn, he is amazing )..... I started during halftime and finished just after the game ( pretty much worked just during commercials )... one of these days I'm going to have to just sit down and wrap with no distractions, just to see how long it really takes . I should get alot more done now that football season is almost over . anyways.... This is another one of the sediment jasper cabs( dyed howlite? what ever it is, it's pretty soft, I scratched the heck out of it ) . Wrapped in 20ga sterling silver dead soft, with 24ga half hard for the binds. I am trying to make a design that will appeal to both men and women. What do you think ( aside from the girly magenta stone )? and the back.... I was a little paranoid of the prongs moving around so I wore this stone to work with me today. I am an electrician, and I just started wiring a house today. After carrying ladders, boxes, drills, extention cords, 100lb 1000' spools of wire, etc.... Then nailing up boxes, drilling out the house , nailing up cans and light boxes, etc.....( lets just say a good, hard day with ALOT of moving )... the pendant survived perfectly!!!! Just so you know..... Thanks, Chris

The twists on the two wires in the front and damn near perfectly symmetrical, I really like how you twisted them opposite of each other. Cool wrap!!

Really nice, Chris! Your work is always so artistic, and I agree with Randy about the twists over the front. I have a friend who wants something in red, not the orange of so many jaspers. I may have to find a piece of what you used! Susan
