    Hello Linda , (and everybody; long time no see) Welcome to Orchid ,
    the best and most sophisticated jewelry discussion board in the known
    universe (^:#. 

    It sounds like you might need some "Pancake" or "RT" type blanking
    dies , which I am very good at making, and which I make for all the
    nice folks who need them made . If you aren't familiar with the
    process, you can visit www.sheltech.net for a look at what can be done
    . Some people may tell you that you should make your own dies , that
    it's SO easy , and why spend money (?) . That's true to some degree,
    but it isn't something many people can do well right away , and I have
    done work for many, many people who try it on their own and decide to
    have me do it instead .I can get the most for you, by far , out of
    the process . Feel free to phone or email . 

    Also, for anyone interested, the Sheltech site has had 

    a new section added on, presenting my unique geometric wire
    sculptures. Anyone visiting , or living in, for that matter, Las
    Vegas ,can head to Luxor Las Vegas , and hit  Innerspace Gallery to
    see the real deal . http://www.sheltech.net  and click the lower
    right half part. For dies and such , click the upper left .
