 Obviously would be better to translate them to quenya Certainly along the lines of seductive curl sounds good.

[EG]

Obviously   I bow to your greater knowledge there

[Vårn]

my vote goes for arthur still

[Hyllyn]

 oh well that means I will have to call it Arthur, won't I? 

[Vårn]

well, yes, for there is no gainsaying my will

[Beleriel]

well one could always compromise and call it.....

seductive Arthur!   

or even

seductive curly Arthur!     

If you translate it into queny no one will ever know!     (except for Quenya speakers.... of course).

Ha.... sorry Nil, I think your jewellery is lovely.  Just having a joke there.    

(Although the name seductive curly Arthur is growing on me every minute!   )   

[Manaskin]

Hey Nil, i looooove you work :da:
I so wish i could have something from you

[Hyllyn]

 And so do I  :da: lol 

 I still mean to make that design you sent me once, as soon as time allows. 

[Hyllyn]

 Still Arthur or seductive arthur has no proper name 

 However I have updated a post back on the first page to show the work of my new tutor in Japanese metal work.

 here it goes anyway, hope you enjoy

 Ford Hallam's work

 If you want to know, it's all custom alloys with patination, and all work is in average 2 to 4 inches in size hand carved with small hammers, chisels and punches, no power tools whatsoever just as it would have been done 300-400 years ago and more.

 Enjoy (it's an order dammit)

[Lessa]

I didn't need an order to enjoy those pieces Nil The are truly exquisite!!

[Hyllyn]

  Excellent.

 Obviously the aesthetics of the japanese are fairly different to those in the west due to the philosophical differences, however in this Photo You can see that the techniques can be succesfully applied to different kind of aesthetics such as the celtic styles (not my cup of tea but it can be done)

 If you wish to get an insight into it here's a good site explaining what is involved in Japanese Metal working

 Zogan and Chokin are what I'm studying for the time being, eventually will follow casting and chasing as well but that applies mostly to vessels, vases and big objects, Zogan and Chokin are more the side of embelishment of these items.

 

[EG]

totally stunning work!

Youre lucky to be learning that art Nil!

[Hyllyn]

 Yeah really fortunate is the case.

 However we still need a name for seductive curly arthur, I don't think it's going to attract serious customers  (no offence Sam)
