I don't post many pics of recent work anymore, but I just finished this set the other day and am extremely happy with it and wanted to share.
Art Nouveau inspired Not Tao 4 and Not Tao 4 Chain set in copper, enameled copper, and freshwater pearls. 18ga, 20ga, and 22ga wire used.

That's imho INGENIOUS use of NT4 as connector element for paired but otherwise independent chains. Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

Human societies are like chain mail.
A single link will be worth nothing.
A chain is of use, but will break at the weakest link.
A weak weave will have the need to replace weak links.
A strong weave will survive even with weak links included.

Very imaginative design Narrina! I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

| I discovered NT4 not too long ago, but I never would have thought of something like this! Beautiful work, Narrina!! |

| Golly, what a beautiful set. I've always been a huge fan of copper mixed with blue and green hues. I liked the detail of the more muted large rings in the NT4 pieces. Against the velvet, it's almost like the inner copper and the turquoise(?) rings aren't connected. I can barely even see how the pearls are connected. Striking. |

| That's seriously cool. I really like the pearls centered in the units of NT4. |
