Beautiful work James! I hope you get the technical difficulties ironed out. Not sure why it would be doing that.

Thanks everyone.

I kept getting an Authorization Mismatch error even if the pics actually uploaded? Along with some other difficulties just uploading, would say failure to upload file too big one time then work fine the next but not post? Im at a loss of words really. Like I said never had an issue until start of Feb. Been trying to post these pics since Sunday.

Those are really nice looking pieces, congrats. My nephew works for NASA and took up metalsmithing/jewelry making as a hobby. Keep up the good work and keep posting your pics.

Those are definitely cool. You got me looking at metalsmithing now; looks like a few options around here for that.

I'd really like to learn smelting/refining, but can't find much by way of instruction. I'm reading through CM Hoke's book from 1940 now, but there's a big difference between reading how to do something and actually doing it.

Very cool James, nice work. Look forward to seeing your future work in metals too, lots of talent and technique to complete projects like that. Sweet! happy088.gif

Dang frustrating on the upload issues though, darn it! The server did have some problems for a couple days at the first of the month, and we thought it's been working fine since on our end here.
But now I've just tried to upload a larger pic myself and had an issue with size/space error pcwhack.gif ......I'll go poke around in the forum settings some more and or go into tech support and see if they can help, that's always so fun....... bash.gif tongue.gif We'll get it figured out though, sorry for the difficulties.

I recognize the ring as Malachite, excellent cab and setting. Not sure of the other two minerals but they are also stunning choices. happy088.gif

Thanks swizz. Meant to get to that just got side tracked for a bit. I didn't make the cabs if you were wondering.
The ring is Malachite, pendent is a Sucker Creek Jasper and the braclet is Rhodocrosite.

Did my 1st wire wrap pendent projects yesterday.
Colorado Amozonite and Biggs Jasper. Turned out pretty well for no practice. Went straight for sterling.
