hotshot Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) My original version was too fragile to be worn, so Kevin made a suggestion to firm it up. I enlarged and tweaked the wolf head to be within support distance of the words, then I tried to hide the supports by using the overcut method. Also, look for the places where the design touches the outer coin. My attempt was to conceal the supports, giving it a floating appearance. So did this approach create a more practical result? The design is very solid and could be worn. ------Randy Edited August 8, 2016 by hotshot amazingkevin, Scrolling Steve, wombatie and 1 other 4 Quote
Lucky2 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Randy, this one looks like it would be a lot stronger than the other one was. Len danny 1 Quote

heppnerguy Posted August 8, 2016 Report Posted August 8, 2016 Randy, You certainly have an amazing talent and skill with your coin cuttings. They are all so unusual and interesting. It would be very fun for someone to know they were wearing one of your pieces and that they were the only one the would ever have a piece of jeweler as unique as one of these Dick heppnerguy Quote
