Silver swirl and seaglass drops

Have taken a break recently due to other commitments.  This hammered swirl was lying around for some time waiting to be finished, but I wasn't quite sure what it needed.  Sometimes you just have to walk away or doodle a bit to find inspiration.  In the end I chose 3 small seaglass pebbles, and drilled and threaded them onto 1mm diam silver wires.

I've finally sourced some relatively cheap diamond-coated hand files, plus riffler files and drill bits.  I've resolved never to buy through specialist suppliers again for tools as it's almost always possible to find cheaper alternatives.  One thing I won't compromise on though, is saw blades; the cheap ones just snag and/or snap constantly.

Had an idea for a seaglass "cabochon" with fidget rings - not sure where I saw it originally, possibly on Etsy.  Thank you to whoever had the idea.  See next post...
