Just as good as a bought one ... Only 10 times the work :lol:
I drilled all the holes by hand( pilot holes first then the larger size)
Then wrestled it like a bear to roll it around a pipe to form it.
Should be perfect for the task

Well done, looks great.

Almost completed this painting of a surf parrotfish. Not quite finished, i'm thinking about adding some gold leaf seeing as it's a bit dull :lol: :lol:

 

[G0lddigg@]

awesome mate a great catch they are too, not fond of the meat but love to catch and release these fish. The colours always astound me and yours is no different

 

[SCROUNGER]

Thanks GD, some of the coral reef type fish are pretty spectacular colour wise. This one isn't for a book or a commission, i'm just playing around with some techniques and the goldleaf i'm thinking about could kill it, i'll soon find out i suppose :lol: :lol:

 

[G0lddigg@]

they sure are spectacular mate, i think theres over 1000 species of parrot? i reckon ive caught 30 different colours. are you belting your nugs for the gold leaf?

I'm making the beer go into the bottles soon(in a little while).

Kitchen is like a beer lab this afternoon.(tee hee hee). :lol:

 

[silver]

Wow,.... got 34 bottles ready instead of 32(wishful thinking).
But low and behold,.... I filled 34 bottles nicely(ceptn the last one being down a couple of inches and probably full of sludge" ha ").
Had a very enthusiastic Mrs don't mind a beer Silver off siding during the bottling in a most helpful and expectant manner,....she recons the fullest one of all is definitely hers(ha). :lol: ( "as if" ).

Here is another pendant I finished today. It's fossilized coral set in silver.
I need some help, does anyone one where I can get cab cut stones in Adelaide? There doesn't appear to be any gem/stone shops around. I know there is a bloke in handorf but looking at his site he is more made to order. At the moment I'm looking to get a cab cut aquamarine stone before Xmas if anyone can help

 

[Ramjet]

Another lovely piece Bogan. Very nice work.

 

[Sandta]
