Sunday Studio Time

We were both able to get in some studio time on Sunday.  Robin finished several pairs of earrings except earrwires in her limited time as our son kept her hopping most of the day.  I worked on a couple of rings.  A simple sterling silver with moss agate ring when pretty smoothly and is ready for final sanding and polish, then I will bezel set the stone.  The other is a birthday present for Robin and it is still has a ways to go.  I spent most of the time working on a tiger eye pendant.  I had a sketch I was working from and the chain did not sit correctly with the pendant so I worked through several options and made swivel caps with rings for the chain to connect to.  The stone is still a little loose, so have to keep working the bezel to see if I can get it tight.  Sterling silver bezel is so much harder to work with compaired to fine silver.
