Peter, Yep, I made it from 14 gauge sterling, and 8 gauge sterling wire for the back stuff.
Leonard, I will work on the bit as soon as the Charlie Russel Art auction is done. Last year I roamed the halls with my pockets full of silver work and sold/traded all my stuff, and I would like to try and do that again. Thats the optimist in me at work anyway.
Seth~ Very cool stuff... I like the pattern. Looks dimensional, in that the panels almost look overlaid on top of a continuous flowing pattern of scrolls and leaves.
