Hi all. I got my latest winnings from Bearcreek yesterday and here's how they look. Some of these are extras that he threw in the box so I'm not sure exactly what they are. I'm pretty sure this is Bloodstone. 25mm  Texas Plume Agate. 25x12mm  Laguna agate 18x8mm  Another Laguna Agate 16x25mm  Same one backlit  Unknown Agate 38x20mm  Same one backlit  An Opal with some nice fire 20x10mm  And this last one is a moss agate from the last batch. 42x14mm  Thanks for looking. |

Man Ed- you are turning out some really nice stuff!
Where in heck did you get that opal? 20X10? that's huge!
And I've gotta say- that camera of yours is pretty awesome too, my old olympus just isn't keepin up.
I have a handfull of new cabs, but when I took them outside for pictures my opal fell on the cement and broke, I was just too disgusted with myself to finish the photo shoot- the batch I ran last week was all self-collected idunowite- maybe I'll post some pics next week after I get the back sides finished up.

It's good to know you're busy and not out on the street causing trouble or nothing! If you're as good at trouble as you are at cabs we'd be well, in trouble.

Thanks everyone, like I said before, it's easy to cut nice cabs when the material you start with is nice looking just raw. Sorry to hear about your opal Pete, any chance of saving it? John, I wish I knew what that unknown agate is cuz you're right, there's a lot going on in that baby. Hope you're okay Kim. Maybe you should keep an oxygen tank by your screen, just in case.

Wow that Texas Plume agate totally blew me away but that unknown agate is absolutely amazing. They all are but I have to go with the Texas Plume, you really outdid yourself with that one. Great job, they are definitely all very droolworthy.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I have definetly fallen in love with plumed and moss agates. Now, if I can just come up with a way to put a small light behind them...
June, I did these 7 cabs in just under 2 hours. I've been trying to do a handfull at one sitting and it seems that 2 hours is just about all my back can handle at one time.
No bouncing droolers Cher?

All nice, but I have to go with the 2nd laker. Those dotted lines are so delicate.

Ed-
You just keep producing don't you? Killer cabs. I love the shape of your last one and the Unknown is really catchy. It's kinda like a nice piece of artwork where you the more you look at it, the more you see and realize there so much going on.
thanks dude,
gaetz

Every single time you post your cabs I think - OK that's it, next time he is going to post something more ordinary. But you amaze me every time. These are too cool. Actually, now I know why I am not posting pictures of my cabs here.  ;D Zotika |
