Hello everyone, some nice looking work here, actually impressive would be the correct term. I haven't been on in a long time now being too busy trying to make a living with my jewelry and rocks. It's not much of a living but I suspect much better than dying and definitely FUN!! Some good some just ok but I keep on keeping on. Dave

A tough way to make a living. You have to advertise, but 99% of it is a waste. The public is fickle. When they want your stuff, you can't make enough. When they don't, you can't give it away. A year later they are in begging for your old stuff just when you get into a new mode that they don't know if they like or not.
The trick is to hang on for at least 5 years. Then "THEY" figure you are serious and come around from word of mouth.
Your work deserves to prosper!

Great work! I love your bails! This is such a great variety.
I worry abt making a sift from the wirework, which is what I am known for, to doing the silversmith thing. I guess time will tell. I'm doing it because I love to do it. And, I'm hoping to get noticed while people are looking at the wire wrapping. As long as I can get my tool money and material money back, I'll be happy. (For now.)

Like your work, our preference runs to simpler wraps around nice stones. Well done.
