It isn't very often that I get done with a piece and I find that I impressed myself. I'm usually overly critical of my own work. However, when I got done with this, I was beaming. Everything went right. It is in argentium and I didn't even mess up- well on the back there is one 28g wire messed up in the weave. All the stars aligned and it came out great. I LOVE this stone!!! It is one of the nicest labs I've ever seen and FLASHY. OMG! It'll blind you. I added, what I thought were the perfect 8/0 beads. This is the first bail I have done with 28g. Anyway, this was done to test the new tute. It is huge for a lab at 44x28mm. I hope you don't think that tooting me own horn is too tacky- I'm just tickled to death! Attachments:

... and rightly so! Congrats for enjoying so much what you did! That is actually the reason why we do anything, don't you think? What a gorgeous stone, and the wrap is perfection. But then, *all* your pieces are perfection...  |

I can't wait to get the Tut! A pat on the back, from over the pond! |

Thank you very, very much Glenda. It means so much to hear that, I mean it. I'm really touched- that was very nice of you to say. I was so happy that everything went like clockwork and looks good, too. (Especially with expensive argentium!)
