well, the last fancy - the pointy shield. I like it a lot also, the two birdseye keep pulling my eye back and make me think how to set them the triangulagur verdite ... and I love the use of the seam on the idontknowit. you did a lot with that. the seams on some of the other slabs had more going on, but you made the best by getting that white stripe on the left
the others are nice but the ones I just mention and that 2nd green shimmery one all have exceptional interest

Kewl... and don't worry about the Jade. It's all good. I might use the pieces for something small some day. It is beautiful quality. Thanks for the opportunity to work with these stones. It was alot of fun. Jo

Wrapped a few of these. The Verdite grooved great but the back top tip broke off as I was binding for the bail. I thought about fixing it right but then thought of how I'd have to drag my cabber out and set it all up, and so I promptly super glued it, LOL. It's in 14k gold-filled. The Fancy Bloodstone shield in a Argentium Sterling Silver groove wrap. The sparkly one in Argentium Sterling Silver. The cool one in 14k gold-filled. Thanks for looking. Daniel, I hope you like 'em.

the green and gold mixed nice, and the fancy jasper shield is still powerful. thanks for showing.

dee: I see you have an interest in foldforming and in using it with stone. I have been fascinated by this for some time. I have all the books and have several pieces in the works. My hammer collection is growing daily. If you want to collaborate, or just try the same projects at the same time (sort of like work-out buddies) I would be glad to supply the stone - in green or whatever color. Send me a PM if you see possibilities.
