The pressure has been on me for a while. Finishing my taxes gave me some relief. I've got a show in the Salt Lake City area this weekend. One day home, then going to Japan for 2 weeks to visit my daughter. A couple days home, then doing a show Mother's Day weekend in Grand Junction, CO. A month or so back I was working on a Tiffany Stone pendant & had lots of trouble soldering a flattened wire around the edges. It put me in a funk because I was running into problems every step of the way. When I finally finished the pendant, it came out better than I had hoped. That helped me get out of my funk, so I started some more pendants. Yesterday I finished up 3 more. I got oohs and aahs from my wife for a couple of the new ones. I hope the shopping customers like them as well. Tiffany Stone from Utah Bruneau jasper from Idaho Royston Turquoise from Nevada Malachite from Africa Gaspeite Moroccan Seam agate (My sister thought I said See Maggot?) Satin Flash Opal from Utah. I used blackening inside the bezel cup to show off the flash better, but I think it makes the cab look gray. I'm going to remove the black & see if that helps. Thanks for looking. Lynn

Those are very nice! I especially like the interrupted bezel on the Moroccan agate.

Good heavens! You have out done yourself! Those are all so nice. I'm not just saying that either- your style and balance really speak to me. Nothing is over done. Everything compliments. Loving them. I especially like the see maggot, tiffany, royston and satin opal- which looks fine to me. Having a stubborn job really does put one in a funk- I can relate. Good luck with the shows and safe travels.

Some really nice pieces of work. Thanks for sharing. I want to try a bail like you did on that Gaspeite now.

Very nice, Lynn. Thought of you as we drove through Kingman some time ago. Next time we're out there, I'll have to get the name of the boutique your stuff is at.

Lynn OK, I could have swore you told me you had stuff in Kingman. Heck, I wasn't even drinking that night. Don't know how I messed that up. All the better reason we didn't go through Old Town Kingman to look for what you do. Thanks for the clarification.

Those are all awesome zarguy. I really like the leaves with stems that you flowed so beautifully into the bezel.

I think they're all beautiful and I don't think you'll have any problem selling them. Great designs!
