i've been feeling very elf-like of late, toiling away, making presents for the big day....here is some of the finished stuff: this is a piece of opalized pet wood(?) that Stefan sent me accented with vintage glass (the blue) and agate beads (the yellowy-orange) and riverstone and gold beads: here is a nice brazilian cab necklace, with brazilian agate beads, glass bead accents with gold findings and brass heishi: and lastly a piece of (?) Rocky Butte Jasper (?) (my brain is mush) that Stoner sent me, Daniel sent me some too and i'm still working on that...anyway, more Riverstone and glass bead accents wth brass heishi: more on the way! thanks for looking!

I had to look twice, ok four times to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. That is crazy good. The color coordination could not have been done better.

KD-
As per usual, they are marvelous. As I said in one of my PM's to you, I'm sure they look so much better in person...pictures can't do them the justice they deserve. What I love about your necklaces is how "heavy" they are. Heavy in that there is substance to them and not these light, "cheap" feeling carnival beads. You do wondrous work!!!

KD..Those are Super Purrty! You do know how well to match up colors. Look how well all the beads match their own stone. The last one has the maroon and blue in the stone almost an identical match to the beads...as well as the first one. You do great work..love em' Steve
