A Peek

Hearts and hands have always been a favorite.



Plan B - Part 1

      Thought I would share some pieces that didn't turn out as planned.

I showed this in a earlier post.  Pretty as it is it didn't function, the focal was constantly on the inside of my arm.
  Really annoying, and not a design I would be comfortable lising.

Plan B

Not annoying to wear, stays where it should and I think the swirly design on the etched metal looks good with the cut steel.

And just to put it out there . .  Plan B needs a little tweaking.  The rivets stretched when I formed the cuff around the mandrel.  Sooooo, I'm starting on Plan C this afternoon, tiny nuts and bolts will be replacing the rivets.

And since things don't work out as planned I'll be posting Plan B - Part 2 soon.
