For the next couple of weeks I suspect I&#8217;ll be eating breathing and dreaming projects to work on. I got a great start today with a neat bangle. I was just playing with some wire and stones and things started to take form. This bangle has a vine- like floral look to it. I&#8217;m looking forward to it&#8217;s final polish. I have just two bezels to solder and then it goes to the wheel.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2h_6OEZccWc\/SYe6PdGYjWI\/AAAAAAAAAm0\/RNeXLSQOvG8\/s1600-h\/Mookite.jpg\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_2h_6OEZccWc\/SYe6PdGYjWI\/AAAAAAAAAm0\/RNeXLSQOvG8\/s200\/Mookite.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2h_6OEZccWc\/SYe3sb9-4II\/AAAAAAAAAmU\/q7s1PjLDpOQ\/s1600-h\/Bangle+bracelet.jpg\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_2h_6OEZccWc\/SYe3sb9-4II\/AAAAAAAAAmU\/q7s1PjLDpOQ\/s200\/Bangle+bracelet.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I also got a chance to correct the construction of my plume jasper pendant.
