Sweet! Ya, reminds me of Emperor Qin's Terra-cotta Army! Those will sell like hotcakes. Yep. I started making these 6 years ago, and they've always been my best sellers. I rarely sell any wire wraps at the craft shows, people go to them to get the "less than $5" items.

You could decorate a Christmas Tree with them! (or a Hanukkah Bush). Jo

Dang those are pretty Randy and man do you crank them out. With all the variety in color and pattern it's easy to believe that part of your offerings is very popular ....Mel

I cut more than 100 yesterday, 500 more to go to fill the tumbler. Time to order more bell caps and jump rings. The next batch is gonna be cool, I'm being very selective on the material this time. Hell yeah ;D

Randy, if you don't mind my asking, Where do you buy your bell caps and rings? I really like the ones you use. Bill

Eloxite. They also sell the 330 epoxy. I use the small bell caps (11-103) and the 6mm jump rings.... www.eloxite.com/store/

I hope this is not rude. What is retail for those lovely gems? I do not mean to pry!

No secrets here, at the craft shows I sell them for $5 each (with 20 inch black cord), buy 2 and get another for free. I sell to other vendors for $2 each if they buy 50 or more. Since I tumble 600 at a time, it's easy cash (which all goes toward buying more rocks) ;D

Wow Randy , you are a human machine . They are really nice . how do you keep the just on the caps & not the rocks. Do you brush on the glue ? Seems like I always have excess that squeezes out . Thanks , Nancy

You'll always have some. I minimize by dabbing the glue at the very top of the stone with a small metal scraper. A popsicle stick will work too. Also, I use 330 epoxy, it dries clea and also shrinks a bit.
