Beautiful!

How did you manage the pin? Is that what you had a time with? The fronts are just gorgeous.

I'm about to wrap a Kambaba jasper cab for a pin, still experimenting with a design I have come up with for an integrated pin, a real challenge but if I get it right, it's sturdy.

Thanks for the comments.  It took me forever to get started on these, as I was not sure how I wanted them presented.  Once started they just flowed.  The pins themselves are made the same way most patterns present them.  My problem is where to place the pin part however with these it really seems to work well. 

I think what I like most about these, is there is no up down or sideways on them.  They look right no matter which way they are pinned on.
