These are 2 new ones I've made a week or so ago. Only just turned them as I've been laid up with pericarditis, which was nice.
Anyway. The gold zeta has a blank made from stones, crushed blanks and a translucent blue . Tube was painted silver to try and emulate the ocean.
The second is a gunmetal Jr gent with a blank I'm calling Dragons Fire. The Green pearl doesn't show up that we'll in the pics, but the sunlight really makes it pop.
C&c welcome as always :thumbs:

Take it easy with the pericarditis mate that is most unpleasant to say the least.
Wishing you well.

they are all lovely Brody and I especially like the Dragons Fire, it reminds me of someone I married 35years ago :funny::funny:

I hope you're better soon mate, I don't know what this pericarditis is, I'm just about to look it up but it sounds serious.

It's bloody painful mate. like being kicked in the ribs by horse and yes I have experienced that to.
Mine was bruised muscle tissue around the heart it affects the fluid layer that surrounds the organ and lays you up good and proper.

Did you get the needle through your back to take he swelling down?
That was excruciating, although I think they have better methods these days, How are you feeling now?

Bloody hell mate, no. No needle. They just pumped me full of anti inflammatories. Just feeling sore now. My blood pressure and pulse rate have returned to normal, but it was made worse by the fact that I've got knackered cartilage around my ribs on my left hand side from working on hgv's when i was younger.

You'll need to take it very easy and slow down for a goodly 3 months to give that a chance to settle down but I am sure you know this.
No heavy lifting that will put you on your back quick as, I know from experience, thought I felt fine and did until I exerted myself, straight back to square one.
Listen to what the doctors say and heed by it for your own good.
All the best init?
