That first closeup of the MCL is amazing.

That first closeup of the MCL is amazing. Thanks Chris! I really like that one too. It was fun watching the eyes develop, but I was also concerned I would take it too far…. I like how that one eye looks like a camera lens.

I second (or third) the awesomeness of the orby looking crazy lace with the spy cam!
Nice batch!

Beautiful tumbles! Amazing job! This is a nice piece of moss agate Thanks! It was a fun batch to tumble. This was all done in a 6lb barrel on the QT-66. I needed to add a LOT more cushioning than I did, some of the edges of the thinner rocks are a bit banged up. I'm still learning with this tumbler, but am seeing some progress, so that's helping me stay motivated!

Good job on these!! This one is SICK (in a good way!)! Thanks! This rock was definitely one I was excited to see after every cleanout. I was really worried about taking it too far and loosing those eyes. MCL is frustrating to tumble. I'll think, 'Just one little area needs some work, another round of coarse should do the trick.' Then, after that round the little area is perfect, but a void opens up on the other side and now I need to figure out what to do about that! It should be called 'Driving Me Crazy Lace'!
