I just love the shape and how you got the pattern centered into the shield shape.

Amanda - That second one is my favorite, too. It's my new favorite shape. It's a bear to wire wrap, tho. I just did one for my sister-in-law out of a dendritic rhodonite. I cut all of those for our show the first weekend in August and not a single one of them sold. Oh, well, more for me! ;)
