Wow! I really like the new backing, Jason! Good thing you didn't pitch it. I think you have a winner. The first one is amazing but so are they all!

Yeah...I'm really liking the way it turned out! That first one had the "least" amount of plumes...at least not as dense...so it allowed the backing to show through more. That's something I'm going to really have to watch for when I do future pieces...a LOT of clear agate area! |

Great work, Jason. You really make those patterns sing! Thanks Gary! I really do enjoy trying to figure out what's going to happen with the pattern when I'm looking at the slabs! |

Dang those are next level doublets jasoninsd! The first few look like satellite imagery of earth with the plumes as clouds. Great idea to "salvage" that material as backing. |

The ones with Malachite & Azurite backing are incredible!. And the others are only slightly less incredible.

I'm glad someone else sees the "satellite" imagery with those first three! That's what I see as well! The ones with Malachite & Azurite backing are incredible!. And the others are only slightly less incredible. Thanks Chris! I was pretty ticked off when I couldn't seem to get anything good out of that M/A...even after I tried to stabilize it myself. Now, I'm pretty stoked regular cabs didn't work out with it...otherwise I likely would have never tried this! LOL |

Jasonid, I really like the color combinations that use the backing material. Excellent work! How is the store doing?

Jasonid, I really like the color combinations that use the backing material. Excellent work! How is the store doing? Thanks Victor! It's going slow. Lots of people adding the shop as a "favorite"...lots of people adding items as a "favorite"...and several items put into people's carts. So, it's just a matter of time! LOL Those look phenomenal Jason! Thanks Ashley! I might have to do a few more of those with the M/A backing! LOL |

They just keep getting better! (and they started off pretty damned good!) I would have never thought of using material like that for backing and it's just brilliant.

That really means a lot as I'm a huge fan of your own creative abilities! Man! Those are amazing!! Real beautiful. Thanks Dillon! I've got to search out some more suitable Regency Rose pieces from my stash to get some more of these done! LOL |

Those are beautiful! I really appreciate your creativity. That malachite/azurite is a nice way to add color to your cabs using a natural material.

I know there's a dye that can be added to the epoxy which will give different color options as a backing...but I too like that the backing on these are a "natural" way to get the different colors! They are so eye-catching! Great craftsmanship❤️ Thanks PS! I might have to switch gears again and get these wrapped before doing any more...we'll see how that works out! LOL |
