Chris, have we left you speechless with our responses? Hahaha never seen you this quiet, but boy oh boy that is one terrific work of art there. I think I'd have to put that in a glass case on display!!
Ha Ha, yep... Pretty much speechless
And I have been seroiusly debating weather or not to put this one up for sale ....
The idea is so original and the pendant is gorgeous!
Have you ever made two pendants to look the same? You always come up with new, cool designs.
Adrian
Actually Adrian, I did four pendants the same. Sort of... Different variations of the same design. I will show you....
First, Wrap #1
I wrapped this piece first...
Then, someone mentioned that the back of wrap #1 looked like angel wings... so I tweaked the design a little, which led to...
Wrap #2
Well, Diane liked this wrap, but we had another heart cab that she liked more.... so, again I tweaked the design a little more... made it a little sleaker, more graceful....
Wrap #3
Diane was happy ;D,
A few months later I sold wrap #1 and, of course, the very next day a friend of mine told me he wanted it for his wife. Luckily, I had another blue heart shaped cab... once again I tweaked and tuned, actually I completely re-designed it. I wanted 4 wires in the bail instead of two, it was actually a major overhaul....
... but I finally ended up with wrap #4
To me all the designing is in the back of the stone.... I have to make sure everything is just where I need it to hold everything in just the right place.
So, there you have it...
Chris
