I've always preferred quality over quantity Kim... You should sell out!

Well every place and every group are different - but when my sister and I took our freeforms to our favorite art show, they sold like hotcakes! I'm sure yours will be flying in no time!

Oh my god I almost missed this post - I really like the one next to the green moss in the third to last picture, it looks like a poppy - a real flower this time - Man you've been busy ! When's the last time you ate or used the potty?

Okay, this is probably a really dorky request, but would you be willing to put a photo up of the type of drill bit you're using <pretty please>? I got a box of diamond bits but they're all different shapes and I don't know which to use - and I'll be dogoned if I'm gonna use the wrong one and wreck one of my purty rocks!! :-)

One question How long does it take you to drill a hole ?
and also any advice on drilling would be much appreciated
I had a go drilling under water and it took me 20 minuits per hole !!!!!!

jack i was takin the same amount of time useing my dremal press but zot told me he holds his dremal in his hand and drills and i gotta say i been buzzin through jaspers fast and im gettin better shaped holes too doin them free hand,, i put just enuff water in the pan to cover the top of the stone cause i find its hard to start a hole where ya wanted it when the water is too deep it distorts your view ya know ,, and i change the water as soon as it gets alittle cloudy this way you can see your start spots better ,, my best sitting was like 20 holes in an hr but it was all soft stuff that starburst jasper and the noreena and acouple others

Sands, very beautiful stuff. Have you ever used or heard of using Pam to spray on piece to drill instead of water. I heard about this from a man who used to drill beads. I do everything to stay away from drilling. Terry
