KNIFE MAKER
Or I might have titled this how to maybe get an extra hug and a kiss.
How about making her a pendant? Sure some fancy natural material like mammoth tooth or ivory or bone will work but I know a small piece of fancy wood just in a diamond shape or how about a piece of colored G-10 just cut in a rectangle say 1/8" thick . You can make a loop for it out out of some thin stainless wire or buy a pile of loops from places like Michels for a couple of bucks. Go to the dollar store and get a chain or two. Take off the little doees that are on it and use it. It won't rust and they are made quite strong and just for a dollar maybe. Damascus especially if it has some pure nickel in it can come out beautiful too, but I suggest heat coloring it to help avoiding rusting. It can work super for earings that go on those "shepard hooks" that you may have to buy at the jewellery store. I'll just bet you will be popular and if only for a few minutes it will be worth it. Don't give without the chain on it. It will be an incomplete thing and she will be dissapointed. Sort of like a knife without a blade. Just got one lady to make for? I have six ladies in the family now and like on Xmas if I give to one I try to give to all with something different for each. And they say if I want their friends would like one too. This ol' papa becomes real happy to see their smiles or to hear of their thanks !!! Give it a try !!! You will be surprised of the retun it will give you as well as your lady "friends". Frank
