Both the Picasso & Wood heart fractured in the grind process But I was pretty good at fixing hearts Ed I nominate you as our first Cardio-Lapidary Surgeon. They're all great but I think I like the Picasso best.

Mohstly I find that first one picaso-tastic ... it is a Piècaso de résistance of your heart of stone portfolio. Cheers

Love the Picasso, but that red jasper is so appropriate for a heart! (Hemoglobin, baby!)

You just keep outdoing yourself pal I personally like the picasso marble but they are all great The geometric shapes in the picasso really caught my eye Not used to seeing your hearts in the dead of summer- they must be on fire
Great job Bill

Beautiful, Ed! I like the way you set the patterns in the two halves of the Picasso.

Great job Ed, I love the wood best. Can you show me a picture of the back? Are those bails drilled then glued or sandwiched between the halfs? Is there a tutorial on how you create these or is it a trade secret?

Thanks Tom The wood was nodule I purchased at Rockazona I wonder how wood gets turned into nodule form? Suppose it breaks off and is tumble by nature over millennia’s? Anyway the backside may be the better side As far as rock’n hearts goes No trade secrets or very little I look forward to doing a tutorial… need help --as you know Life comes at ya… in between grinds So it hard to make the time To answer oyur question I zip a groove on the flats Before epoxiing the hearts together Pre-drilled hole!! Then all I got to do is drill out the epoxy Crafting rock’n hearts Will challenge every lapidary skills Very cool Ed
