Oh not been around much over past few days but what a fantastic selection!!!

Carole - that is a beautiful pendant, almost abstract but not quite.

Willow - Your pendant is fabulous! I love the stitching with the little rings down the side with the beads, reminds me of a punk's pierced ear (in a very good way! Hope that doesn't offend

)

Eliboo - I love both your pendants especially the first one with the 2 hearts!

Nic - what a fantastic range! The integrated swirly bail on the pendant is superb, and the earrings are a lovely match.

Jane - that is a lovely effect, almost the reverse of oxidising! I have a feeling that the white will wear off eventually, though perhaps not too quickly as it is in the recessed hammer marks.

Lynn - the lily is wonderful! I love them too. Is that silver or copper? Either way it is just lovely!

Thanks! It's copper... have some silver standing by for one but as I have never made anything like it before in metal though I should use something a little cheaper. lol

I'm not as thorough as Nicci I am afraid, bust some lovely work! Carole I especially love your enamelling on that pendant , but all the pieces are great

I have aqn idea for soemthing, but wether I get it done in time is another story...

Hi. Nicci, no it didn't offend me at all, I hadn't looked at it like that but know you come to mention it.
That cala lily is wonderful.

Well it is a flower and it can have been made before, so here goes!

Well you can't blame a 'girl' for trying!

Appologies for my disappearance lately - my computer had a fit and none of the USB is working! I am sharing an internet cable with hubby who needs it more than I do!! sob sob! Need to get it fixed - i can't cope without constant internet...

Anyway, I just want to say I love the work that has been put up in this thread so far, its all so unique and different!

I've been wanting to put my contribution up for days and I've finally got the internet cable and the chance... They are not new designs but they are new colour combinations. Hope you like them...

Jane - I still love that set. Did you sell it or did you keep it for yourself?
(I don't think I could've let that one go, lol)

Alexandra - that's really pretty wirewrapping and I love the colours
Do you have any problems using a split ring as the attachment?
I've tried them in that position in the past and have had them open...
Maybe I'm opening them too wide to slip chain etc in or the customer has caught the attachments
(they dont look like a ring at all when they come back,lol)
