Hi sheen,
I guess it depends just how much they swing, but if it seems too much - maybe if they are attached to the stud via jump ring, then maybe a smaller jump ring, giving a snugger fit would...

Your panda is just too cute Dennis, he’s lovely!
It’s one of the best fairs there is, full of beautiful high quality crafts and no tat! I’m off to the preview evening tonight - can’t wait
Haha, very tempting - but no! There’s a horseshoe, heart and infinity sign in there somewhere - a bit stylised - so luck and love forever. It was good practice for tube setting though, so all is...
I made these earrings for my daughters wedding, but they disappeared in her hair so she used a bigger pair that she had bought. Oh well. I thought it would be fun to include a hidden message in...
Well, not really exciting for the rest of you as you’ve seen the bowl before, but I couldn’t resist posting as it’s my first ever hallmark!

I like these Dennis, they’re fun and a bit different. I must admit though, I can’t bear all the mess from sawing through acrylic, and that was just for the odd shape to cut out for press forming...
I don’t have cats, so forgive me for my naivety, but couldn’t you put all the things they hate in that room for a while - I’ve heard cats hate the smell of vinegar. Also, if you have a room in your...
I love these Dennis, very stylish and great fun. Reminds me of lea stein brooches.
Thanks Dennis and Deb. I will be handing them over to my daughter this weekend, so thankfully i’ll be able to tick them off the ‘to do’ list!
I’ve been a bit busy since finishing the bowl, as I’m in the midst of preparations for my daughters wedding, but I’ve just finished the bridesmaids gifts, earrings so I thought I’d show them. White...
Your canes are very dapper and elegant Dennis.
Thanks for the info - from what you’ve said I don’t think the cupola set would save me much time. I have to move on from thinking of having another...
Maybe this pic is a little better - I’m rubbish at pics!

Although flawed, it’s amazing as not long ago it looked as though it had been run over by a car!
Thanks for all your kind comments - I’m a little late responding as I’ve been doing what I can with it. There are some battle scars which I can’t get out, and the foot is a little short now as I had...
Erm, further to my latest post in show and tell, I’m just wondering if anyone has used one of those huge cupola and punch things to make a bowl shape? And is it possible to do it just by whacking it...
OH BOTHER!!! (And other words, that are not printable)
I was so close, almost there - just needed to use the polishing motor.......
Aaaaaarrgh! Must have lost concentration for a split second, or...
What a lovely pendant, I love the design. You could always oxidise it and see what you think, just take it off it you decide it’s better without. I’m hopeless at getting a good finish - it’s that...
Hmm,
My feeling is that these things go in cycles, and the forum is loosing out to facebook at present.
Facebook and the forum are very different things, here on the forum, answers to requests...
Thank you both,
it’s not quite finished yet, but at least the foot is on now. I need to give it a good polish and then i’ll Post another pic of it finished. It’s far from perfect, but I’ve learnt...
Thanks for the info on how you made the dragon, very interesting and it must have been quite a labour of love.
Gosh, you have been going to Morley college a long time, but I think you must have had...
That is so beautiful, always thrilling to see an expert at work. You make something so hard look so effortless! How long would you say this took you?
Thank you Dennis,
I’m close to finishing it now, it’s been a steep learning curve and I think my arms might drop off from all the hammering! I’ll post a pic when it’s finished.
That’s so lovely Dennis, i’d Be really gutted if I lost something like that. I couldn’t resist having a quick look at the albums, such lovely items. How did you make the little dragon, is it cast?
Maybe Dennis’s post here is just the little poke in the right direction that some of us needed - so I’ve just posted a show and tell. It’s not very exciting I’m afraid, but it’s all I’ve got just now.
Prompted by Dennis’s comments re how quiet the forum is, I’m posting this unfinished piece. I haven’t made/completed anything for such a long time, but I’ve got quite a way with this one. My...
