Yep, still doing it. I've only completed those 2 pieces for the store-the necklace & the bracelet both in bronze. I've been working on a double-weave and tried to do 2 different gauges of wire but have been having a lot of problems with it so it's taken a lot longer. Here is a nice example of a double weave, check out the 2nd picture for detail

Yeah, nice ones hey? Lots to aspire to! I think the double weave and the patina both are what really sets a piece apart and makes it look worth the price tag.

Yay post card!

Good to know, thanks for the feedback! I like how it looks, definitely more "old world" and it can be made to look masculine or feminine so is going to appeal to a wider range of people. The double knit is going to take more practice, I'll do it after I've made stuff to sell. We might be able to find some better caps I can use on the ends on our trip back.
