Hey guys, Well, I broke out the copper wire to play with a little bit and test out a couple new ( for me  ) techniques. I got a little sloppy at the top and bottom of the bail, but I think it came out pretty well.  Here's a better view of the bail.  And the bottom... I still havent tried weaving yet, but this is still new for me.  ... and the back with a ruler for scale...  Well, what do you all think?  Chris |

Oh Chris, I like it. You can bring it to the sale on Friday or Saturday. I think it will sell.
Love, Mom

Chris, love it! You have such a unique artistic approach to all of your pieces. Love Picasso, none of mine have any gold color in them, do have the burgundy though. Nice stone too!

Thanks as always guys:).
I really couldn't belive how much wire the coils on the bail used. There is at least 5' of 24 gauge in the bail....I really need to get some smaller wire to mess around with.
