Gary Green Jasper

A thank you to Susan, susand24224 for having the pre-form giveaway.

This piece of Gary Green was among them & I decided to just go with the relative free form shape it was.

I'm usually a very organized / symmetrical / template kind of person- but I like it.

Thanks for looking,

Patty

Thanks Tela,

It's funny, it's just a little piece & I didn't want to waste any of it, so I just went for it.

Tom said he thinks it looks like the surface of Jupiter, complete with a spot -

I guess that's the ellipsoid (thanks realrockhound

)
Now I have to figure out what to do with it - another challenge. (smart)

I suppose that really did make your eyebrows raise when I said the Gary Green cabs I did recently were from "practice worthy material"! LOL

I like the pattern in that one. I'm pretty sure the ellipso pattern is the semi-circular darker green "quarter orbs" in the upper left of the cab.

realrockhound Yes, can someone identify the "elipso"? I see people selling this and using that word and don't know what it means in reference to Gary Green/Freedom. Is it the dark green "quarter orbs" like jasoninsd thinks, or the planetoid/liquidy swirls?

Upper left hand corner of the cab, those lil half orb looking patterns. That’s what is referred to as elipso

Okay...so you made me do some searching...and I'm not sure I'm not more confused! LOL - A Google search of Gary Green Ellipso lead me right back here to the forum:

Except Gary Green also has stripes at the same time...
