Wow, super cool story and pics and giant GG (aka Freedom) chunk and slab and cab and wrap drocknut ! Iām jealous of your trip, being able to dig that back then. Pretty wrap as well, the stone is able to show off and the silver looks good with the green.š Thanks khara. It was sure a fun trip and I am grateful I was able to go. |

Didn't know if I was going to participate in this one or not. Haven't done a wrap for a little bit though so I really wanted to do one. This is a piece of Mariposa that I collected a couple of years ago and then tumbled. Went with my brother who was up here visiting and my dad. Thinking about it now. That was definitely the last trip the three of us did together. This is my first time wrapping a non-cabochon rock.
Great job on wrapping that beauty. I know tumbled stones can be challenging to wrap for sure and you did a great job on it. I love the shape of that tumble and the wire wrap looks so natural on it. Glad you got to go on the trip with your dad an brother. |

I don't know if y'all recall, but I whined through this month because I couldn't find my rock. WELL- I just found it and it was right under my damn nose!! I don't know how I missed it.

iamchris I save Chinese take out containers to keep and separate stuff. In my work area, I have a bookcase behind me with these stacked mini bins. The bottom one has some nice pet wood in it. My rock was in there. I looked in there. I know damn good and well I did. I just overlooked it.
To answer your question- probably, but not soon.

Before I saw your photo Tela rockjunquie , all I could think of was the little white square boxes that Chinese food used to come in !

Honestly we haven't had Chinese take in a LOT of years,
so I didn't know if they even still used the square white boxes.
The plastic trays look useful - I'd probably reuse them too.
My only problem is that they aren't see through , so you need to label them.
I use plastic see through shoe boxes & labels.
But I think your special rock needs a special place ! Just sayin'

Just sayin' Patty I have see through bins for other purposes. These are for the short term. They were VERY handy when I was selling. Helped me keep track of stuff.
I'm keeping it right where it is, so I'll know where to find it. If I put it somewhere for safe keeping- I'll NEVER find it. |
