This is my first wrap where I picked the shape, cut the stone from a slab and did the HOURS of polishing...just kidding-it wasn't hours.  I did get advice from Banjo. But felt pleased with this one. It's wonderful to work side by side with Banjo both of us being creative. Even if I never get as good as he is, the good times are worth it all. :-*It's just a blast busting up rocks, making cabs and wrapping and helping box stuff up for orders. Too much fun!!  Thanks for sharing with me!! You all are terrific. Thanks for all your love and support from both of us!! -MrsBanjoCreek |

It is a Regency Plume Agate. One of my favorites. Wait until you see the two that Banjo did last night. You are just going to love them. One I am wearing today, tomorrow the next. I just don't have enough necks...haha. I will get him to post them today or tomorrow if we can get the pictures to come out. Yes, excellent teacher. God has truly blessed me....!
Thanks!!

Wonderful job, that stone is just gorgeous, I can see why it's a favorite. Banjo is a very good teacher and wonderful about sharing his knowledge.

Thanks fellow rock lovers for the great feed back. Yeah, Banjo is one in a million. Glad God saved him for me. Hopefully, if time permits, there will be more soon. Got all four Grand Kids over night this weekend, so we'll see. That will be a hoot.
John, looking forward to meeting you finally. Heard alot about you and been reading your postings. You have done very well. Yes, we will for sure go rock hounding together. We are having terrific weather if you've been keeping up with it. We'd be glad to share!! Be careful on your journey over and tell Kim 'hello' . Take care.....
-Mrs.Banjo

Well between the "Dueling Banjo's"  they make some fantastic wraps. You've learned your lessons well Mrs B and at the rate you are progressing you are going to give Banjo competition at the shows & on Ebay. Truly Nice Work. Pete |

Hey, Pete -
Had the same idea about the "Dueling Banjo's" thing! They do make quite an awsome pair, don't they?
Mrs. Banjo -
Looks like you'll be giving Mr. Banjo some serious competition with that one. Amazing wrapped stone you have there!!!
