My goodness, that is a beautiful clasp! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing this tutorial, Pattye. It does look like an arduous task. Think I'll stick with gimp over your Serafil thread!

Congratulations, Douglas. You are one talented guy!!!

Oh my, that pendant is really lovely! Thanks for sharing, Wendy.
