Those cabs are excellent, Julie. If you like working in the size range of those smaller ones (or even smaller), you could make pairs for earrings. Hmmmm, good advice for me, too, since I'm often working small material. I have major difficulty making twin stones The trick to doing matched pairs is to cut the shape out of a very fat slab and preform your shape on one stone. Then you cut it in half with your trim saw, open them like a book and cab each one.

Oh and yeah I’m sitting here brainstorming the blurry picture thing and it reminded me of my eyesight pre-cataract. Like looking through waxed paper. So I cleaned the camera lens and voila! This post got really long now I have to read it all. Probably great info in here, random pic before and after. . Woah! That is waaaaayyyyy better!

Hi Julie.
See if you can download a gray gradient background. Someone suggested different color backgrounds early on in this thread. If you find one and print it out to use for a background it will help in a couple of different ways.

Thanks! Some experiment pictures were taken yesterday using a gradient grey background. Awesome advice !!
