I have not done silver smithing yet, so when I saw your second one, I did not think it looked bad. I would love to see it when it is finished. I am always amazed with people that can take wire and make it look so neat. I love the chain lace around the Laboradorite cab.<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17585918.post-14466802743134657062013-09-21T01:20:05.431-05:002013-09-21T01:20:05.431-05:00WOW!
