Cross pendant

[willem parel]

Well here's my first item, I finished this one today.
It's made out of 4mm square tube, the lenght is 21 mm, width is 16 mm. and it can be openened to put some ash in it.
Sorry for the poor pictures, I have to work on that but I am really not a photographer and will not become one ever.
And I must admit that the final polishing isn't done yet

Loving your work Willem, I imagine Boris is not as impressed!!

Les

[willem parel]

Thank you all for the nice comments.
Haha Les, you're right, Boris is a very old dog fo my sister in law and he can't can't walk anymore.
My sister in law wanted to go with him to the vet to eutanise, so I thought I make a rememberance plate for Boris.
But the daughter objected that much that she didn't go.
And now after months Boris is still there, alive but not kicking.....
So I have to wait to finish it.
