Nice work!
I've attempted some wire working and know how difficult it is to get it looking that clean. NICE!

Kev -- your creativity never fails to amaze me -- keep the new pieces coming!
Have you started a new website for jewelry sales?

This was a piece I finished yesterday using a dichroic cab I had made previously. The colors are a little off on the cab. What looks blue is actually a teal color, and the green is more of a mossy green than pictured.

Kev, you make the complete setting for all your rings and bracelets? Where did you learn the technique for such a flawless appearance? I have read many books and viewed your tutorial but can't seem to complete any project without collateral damage to the finish of the wire.  As an auto body tech I have worked with metal for 41 yrs with some restoring of antique autos so this should be right up my alley but I guess I need a lot more practice and instruction. |

Yes. everything is made from scratch with pieces of wire bound together. It's hard not to get marks on the wire, and hopefully the embellishments you add will cover them. The more you work the wire, the greater the risk of marks. The dichroic bracelet above does have some marks on it, so therefore I will not be selling it.
I'm still learning as I go, and just try to have some fun with it. Practice practice practice..the more you practice, the better you will get with it. Sometimes it seems no matter what you do, it just does not want to cooperate and go as you hoped, but you just keep at it till it's finished.
This latest one has no marks on it. I made it today as a gift.
