Hi ya'll,
Here is a couple of shots of my 3rd sterling bracelet. I know my design is far short of inspired, but maby I'll get to the inspired level someday. The bracelet is 3/4" and 16 guage. Thanks to the advise I've gotten here, the bending is going much better.
Question, the flower in the middle is pretty much right out of Lynton Mckinzie's book. It was in a little plate set in a knife handle. I tinkered with it a little bit, but if you looked you would recognize it. I just thought it was a cool flower. Have I plagerized too much by using something so similar even though it's in a completely different setting.
Another question. How much should I charge for that ho hum level of work. It's for a friend of mine, in fact she picked the other elements out of my doodle book and asked for a big flower in the middle. But she wants to pay me. I certainly can't charge what you pros charge because it's not pro grade work. And I probably had 5 hours in it, which isn't fair either because I'm sure others could do the same thing much faster.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Todd
