Gorgeous, Wallace. I really love tubes set from both sides and pink sapphires are a favourite.

Ahhh Wallace, they are gorgeous! Are they going up on Etsy?

Thank you everyone.
Hi Dennis, they are connected buy a loop that was threaded through the middle of the petals. They swing, when moved independently of the flower. I like moving parts (sure I have mentioned that loads before, lol). Each flower has 15 metal components including the ear wires I also made, 8 gemstones and one Swarovski crystal( colour is called Fuchsia!) Lol

Hi Elaine, they are fab colours, I have had them for a little while and as I don't enamel, they give the colour for the flower brilliantly.

Hi Liz, thanks again. I am not sure they will go on Etsy... I might have found a new home them already, and another version with different stones.

Oh, I meant to say lacking light, not rain in my post!

Lovely work as usual Wallace.

The Daisy Chain.

Making daisy chains with friends is a rite of passage, like your first day at school, or going on your first date. Here is my later version as a one inch brooch in gold and silver wire, made when I took up jewellery.

The little gold balls were tumbled in a plastic box with some shot and soap, inside a barrel, then contained in a jump ring, and fixed by re heating the solder at the centre of each flower.

This is a non-competitive entry, just to keep the ball rolling, as it is quite old. Dennis.

Gorgeous Dennis, and brings back memories of sunny childhood days sitting on the grass at school and making daisy chains.

that really is so beautiful Dennis. I am sure it is very treasured and allowed to bloom in the company of it's owner.
