Got a bunch finished up, Tony had me working in the sweat shop, we had a ton of cabs to finish up! Here are mine, and the bottle stoppers! I have no idea what this stuff is, but it came from that auction we went to years ago Flame Agate Rhodonite Gold Sheen obsidian Red jasper with hematite, this is going to be a zipper pull for my state farm coat! Morrisonite Poppy Jasper Carnelian from Woodyrock Lapis this is going to be for my boss Rose Quartz, this is for the young girl I work with that is trying to find love The bottle stoppers glued up Amber We have a house showing today so I am keeping my fingers crossed we are going on 2 years here of having the house listed, I just dropped it as low as I can go!

Those are all sweet Amber! Where do you find the stoppers? Those are a great idea.

Love the flame agate. Those bottle stoppers are sweet, too (those would tempt me to drink more liquor, though mostly just to display the fine gemrocks). Great work.

Those are really nice! Great idea, and they will look very classy in their new bottles--well, they look really classy already!

Amber, your work is brilliant and so colorful. I have a couple friends who love wine and have been trying to think of a gift idea for Christmas. The bottle stoppers would be perfect. I see them on clearance from time to time at Pier 1 Inports. I'll check there but would love to know where you got yours and what glue you used to hold it together?

I buy a lot of stuff from this guy they are so nice to work with love the bottle stoppers and the bails, and I got zipper pulls to put on jackets, I try to find new things to do with the rocks, for people who may not love wearing jewelry. store.abasg.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ASC&Product_Code=FMT&Category_Code=WBSFor gluing Tony does that and uses that Aeleen's metal adhesive you can get that at AC Moore or Michaels in the blue tube. Adrian, I am glad you still have your bottle stopper I had not made any in years, when we did our last show I sold them all, good gift for people that like wine or you can use them on your olive oil bottles.

I ordered a couple today for Christmas gifts and Bob was very kind and quick to setup shipping. He also mentioned in his email that they will do wholesale shipping on items purchased 12+.
Thanks for the link. I look forward to ordering again from their website.

Great cabs Amber, I like the wine stoppers. Don't feel bad about the 2 years the house was on the market, we bought ours in 2007 and it's just now about up where it cost when we bought it!

Yes any items you order a dozen of he will give a discount, I ordered the key chains but then tony reminded me I better use hard stones since they will get knocked around, but the shape is the same as these wine stoppers, so it is easy to trace them and cut slabs. Bob is great to deal with!
