Just finished this one up. It took several hours to do. The center is varasite (fairly soft material). The black border is obsidian. The white/green frame is India green tree agate (a really hard material). I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Awwww, so does that mean that you are tough on the outside, but have a real soft heart at the center?! Sue

Awwww, so does that mean that you are tough on the outside, but have a real soft heart at the center?! Sue Interesting question Sue - I really wonder about that sometimes. I guess we all want a soft heart, and now I have one. Seriously though, I plan to use materials of equal hardness on future pieces. Do you set up booths at any of the local Seattle area shows farther north of you? I HAVE to see these incredible pieces in person.... you just amaze me and I want to shake your hand!!! Thanks Krystee, I've never set up a booth, just a display case now and then. I don't produce enough to fill a booth, but I'm flattered that you asked. Thanks for all your kind comments. I really enjoyed reading them & they inspire me to try some more experiments.
