I like to do lots of wire work. That is sort of a signature feature of mine. In order to keep this blog short and sweet I will not got into a lot of detail describing how I made each piece (also I do not know the names of all the stones.
I tried to use at least a good sampling of the stones, etc. that Robin sent..
Hope you like all of my pieces.
