Beautiful Sneaky. Where do you get your fiber optic glass. Those are really nice and how is it to work?

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Tim, Those are some pretty colorful pendants.

thanks chuck

i buy it when i am knapps ins,most all of the rock dealers have some for sale

it is really a soft material and you have to be careful when work it
when working at the tip you dont want to try and run a flake across to the other side or it will over shoot,you have to try and run it from the tip towards the base some what to keep it from overshooting to the other side

Those are pretty Tim! I doubt a woman could pass that pink one up without having to have it... I think the two tone wire wrap was a good idea also! Thanks for sharing!

thanks Josh

im hoping to have a bunch like this made up before the knap ins start this summer,along with some ear rings
but im going to have to order some more fiber optic glass in a variety of colors first

[JoshinMO]

Both really nice Tim.

I love how you guys just whip out these absolute works of art while waiting for the coffee to brew...so to speak...outstanding piece of art Sneaky...

[sneakygroundbuzzard]

thanks BABA, but i wouldnt say i crank them out. each one of those arrow heads took over an hour to make. got to take your time to make pretty things

[Hoss]

Thank you Tim I am very happy with it.

[sneakygroundbuzzard]

Matt, so glad you like it and that it arrived undamaged.
i always get nervous when it comes to mailing one of my babies lol

[2ndoldman]

Fabulous work Tim, that pink one will be snapped up PDQ by the first lady passing by your work area.What method do you use to twist the wire together?
I really like what you did however a tighter twist might be more desirable.

[sneakygroundbuzzard]

thanks Bruce

the pink one was sold to a cousin of mine for his wife

i put one end of the wire in my vise,the other ends in my cordless drill and then just let the drill twist them up

i am going to get some smaller gauge wire so i can do a tighter twist
if i go any tighter on the twist with this wire it gets to hard to work with to do the wrap
the copper gets tougher do to heat when twisting it,so a smaller gauge will be needed to keep it workable after it gets twisted tighter

[Havenhunter]

Well Tim, those necklaces would make any girl's heart go pitter pat! That pink glass is stunning! And as always, flawlessly made. Thanks for sharing!

[sneakygroundbuzzard]

thank you very much

my cousins wife loved that pink one
so he had to buy it for her
