Back at you Da Mago Man

 

[PFlynn]

OK this one is thicker than the other ones I've done.I have the darker hemp in the middle and the bleached hemp on the outside,I can assure you this was not easy to do.

 

[Boss]

That is very cool!

 

[Herb Fellow]

Looks like a wedding band quilt design. Very beautiful!

 

[PFlynn]

And here is thr finished bracelet,it looks like it would be humungous but after it relaxes it will be fine.

 

[Boss]

Nice man!

The emerald roughs are in the tumbler for shining, they will be in there about 2 weeks. FYI

 

[PFlynn]

Thanks BossNo rush,I just can't wait to see what they look like.

 

[Boss]

Went down there this morning and the tumbers are bouncing all over.. Don't know whats wrong.. Gotta fix somthing else now.. If it's not one thing, it's another

 

[PFlynn]

I had no clue it took that much work,or that long.

 

[Boss]

The tumblers polish useing plastic beads and polishing compound. Takes a week or more to get them to shine. It may be I just dont have enough water in them, the weight has to be balanced.

Do you have anything you can drill holes with? I can do it, but I am afraid it wouldnt be on the right side or spot for the hemp. I have no clue where they would need to be.

 

[PFlynn]

No I don't,If you could make it 1mm thick I could figure out how to hang it.

 

[PFlynn]

After putting it off over and over again I finally finished this one.I'm very proud of how it came out,hope you enjoy how it came out.(And if you don't you have no taste at all,just kidding.)

 

[PFlynn]

Hey everyone I'm working on another thick bracelet with a pattern of glass beads.Its comming out pretty good so far,it has the bleeched hemp on one side and the nonbleeched on the other.It should be done either tonight or tomorrow depending on how lazy I feel.

 

[PFlynn]

OK here it is,it didn't show up in the pictures but the smaller glass beads are the opposite color of the larger frosted glass beads they are next to.The small ones were almost impossible to get on the hemp,but all worked out in the end.

 

[PFlynn]

This is a simple one but I love using plain wood beads,and the twisted hemp in the middle is the bleeched hemp.

 

[Boss]

That's a nice one man, I like simple.

 

[PFlynn]

Me too Boss the only thing I wear is that beadless bracelet a few back,I love the simplisity of simply the two colors of the hemps,and nothing else to distract from the weave itself.

 

[Ms. RedEye]

Thanks for the new pics Pete. You know I love seeing the progression of your work. This is one of my favorite threads on the site.

Boss, I have a question for you...what kind of pieces do you envision for the stones you have cut for Pete?

Peace

 

[Boss]

I am gonna drill the emerald rough down the center, they are polishing as we speak and have about a week to go. The opal I will drill horizonal at the top and pray it doesnt shatter ;-) Then it will hange like a necklace when he wraps both sides to the center hole.
