First Pendants

[Evacuee]

Got the pendant backer plate and some blanks last week thinking I'd make a few Christmas gifts. They were easy to do with the very excellent backer plate from Richard. Took my two daughters, ages 13 and 16, to a bead shop today and they each made necklaces and one added a bracelet as shown in the 1st two pictures. The women at the bead shop were complementary to the max on the pendants. The last one has some woodburning on it to accentuate the design. Here are the pictures.

Very nice designs Bill!

I like the added embellishments that you put on them.

Nice job!!!! You've got the knack of the curves down pat. Great use of the backer plate.

Extremely nice. I'm really glad my wife does not look at this site. Those are much nicer than any I've made. Very well done.

Those are very nice. I got my backer plate some time ago and still have not made one yet.

Bill, looks like you got the hang of it very quickly. Nice work. Did you have any problem finding blanks? I bought one of those backer plates, but haven't got around to trying it yet. I wanted to wait until I found some nice Corian or laminated stock to work with.

Very nice, I really need to get a backer plate. The old way is not consistent!

Thanks, guys. Bobalu, you can get the blanks by looking at the Individual Classifieds and checking out Chad's posts (cwasil) for wood blanks and Fred's (PTownSubbie) posts for corian blanks. Both provide excellent blanks at reasonable prices and offer great and very fast service.
