Hey Janet,

Very nice work! I really love this technique. With different shapes you can get some interesting pieces. What gauge are you working in?

Gauge....is probably 24. That's typically what I pull for these kinds of pieces - anticlast and/or fold forming.

Thanks for the info...I usually use 20 gauge sterling for my pieces, but I'll have to try 24 gauge...I'm sure it's a lot easier to move than 20 gauge is. It likes to spring back out of shape.

Janice this is a FANTASTIC piece! Love it!!! So beautifully formed with fabulous gold detail. Truly wish I had your talent. How long did it take you from start to finish? Cath
