Especially for these weaves. That's a lot more wire that way. Weaves get very expensive very fast. I use copper on weaves now. I will try some red brass. You would think that red brass would look like......well.....red? I did one in silver, I don't want to calculate how much it cost me.

Yes it DOES take a LOT of weaving wire.....thats for sure. Which is why I switched back to the other wire again....I just cannot pay those prices. I would love to, but......

So I did a few more I thought I would show ya....man Photo bucket was given me fits tonight...

anyways....here's a tiger eye in red brass - stone from Tkrueger3, I cabbed it & grooved it

Imperial in Red brass - dont know where the stone came from for sure

Sowbelly Agate in red brass - stone from Ken & Donna - I cabbed & grooved

Then this is green quartz that was sent to me by Randy - 1 of my first heart cabs. This is not grooved, just your regular every day old wrap....hahahaha Byzantine chain maille chain, emerald green swarovski's for sparkly....

So that's a few more.....hope ya like'em!!

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
