I used 7 feet of wire for this in a combo of gold and silver.

You stuck perfectly the wire to that freeform edge of the stone. Adrian

I agree it would be a shame to use too much wire on this. The carving is really sweet and I love the way you incorporated the wires to hold her in. Very nice

Also, wrapping those accent wires around gives a sea shell or curling wave feel. Jo

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)
