Wow, Marie - look at you! A professional jewelry artist! I love all of these! That bracelet is just awesome. What a neat idea - isn't that called a "love knot"? It's gorgeous.
On the first 2, do you construct the "ladder" looking wires first, then wrap them around the cab?
And the little cross - my goodness!

Tom- the ones with the ladders are hard to explain....but.....the ladders are constructed first....so....... yes the bracelet IS a love knot!! Gonna do a sterling one next!! and the cross? well....I love crosses, so it was bound to happen sooner or later!!! Thanks Ron & Tom!! Wanted to give you a variety of different things I am doing now to look at!!!

Marie, I think that Love Knot bracelet would look great with a cab in the middle (hint). Beautiful work girl! Jo

Thanks Donnie & Mike! Jo- yeah...I'm gonna try it with a cab in there....well...a bead....because the way it's put together, a bead is about all that would work, without it looking overdone with wire....so today I am going to a bead store to look around and see what I can find that will work...... Thanks again!! Marie

Beautiful work. My wife was looking over my shoulder, pointed to the cross and said, " make me one of those ". Could you please post a more detailed pic of it ? The wife will bug me until I make one for her. Don

In truth, I normally don't like overly ornate wraps but you have really outdone yourself with all of these! Really amazing work! Fran

Those are all fantastic. You got me stumped on the "ladder" design. Lots of creativity you got there. I can only hope to one day be even half as good as you.
