Lee Rockoonz 's entry, especially this photo  reminds me not of the Red Sea parting, but of the backside of the lower torso of someone about to plunk their hiney into an oversized saddle, lol. I see the close up of looking down the nose of a big ol’ gator. The blue is his eyes |

I wasn't sure if I was going to get a cab done for this month's contest. Got 'er done almost last minute though! LOL - Some of you know last year I cut out over a thousand preforms...stupidly! Well, I have a ton of Picture Jasper cabochons that I have already done...and a ton of preforms already cut. With that many preforms ready to go (and so many completed and waiting to be wrapped), I just couldn't justify cutting out another preform. I didn't "need" another landscape cab. So, if anyone feels that disqualifies me since I didn't start from a slab this month, don't be afraid to speak up...I will withdraw. The first shot is of the preforms I picked out as possibilities...but after looking at them some more, I only worked the one on the bottom right. I decided to leave this as a high some to give the scene in the rock a bit more depth (figuratively and literally I guess! LOL) I call this one "Sandstorm Over The Bluff". If you look closely at the picture taken outside, you can see a house off to the right...and clouds in the sky...a true landscape piece! LOL There have been some amazing looking entries this month...so way to go everyone!  ( Tommy , the first two shots of the completed cab are the ones for judging...if I'm not disqualified...)     that freaking dome dude… holy crap. You pulled that with a 1/4in slab? |

Umm...yeah...don't your domes look like that? LOL - Nah...the cab is right around 3/8" thick... |

Thank you all for another awesome contest with 12 beautiful entries. The contest is officially closed and I have collected the photos.
It's bad timing but I have an unusually busy work schedule this weekend with three 12 to 14 hour days in a row so I'll do my best to get the voting up as soon as I can. The voting period will not be shortened if I'm late posting it.

I think this is one of the better looking group of cabs I've seen for the competition here. Even so #4 has more votes than everyone combined. Very impressive.
