The first bot is great; love the fan effect on the left side. I see a tree with big opally plums

And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...

plunk....plunk.....roll, roll, roll...

That was my eyeballs falling out of my head and rolling across the floor.

[glow=red,2,300]Wow![/glow]

Beautiful!

Wish I could do stuff like that. Too bad I don't have any of the equipment (and experience and talent) that it takes...

I see the tree, and the dancer might turn into an angel without the effects of the flash.

The pattern on the first is a real eye catcher and of course who doesn't love B.O.

Your shapes are perfect for the lines on the bots. The boulder opals are gorgeous, too. Thanks for sharing. matt
	It's not low self esteem -- there are rocks down there.

Oh Yes! Super Botswana's and Boulder Opal's, The top one is my favourite - it's like an impressionist interpretation of a nautilus shell, it's the fan bits, reminding me I guess, the contrast is kind of suggestive too. I love the way those stones have a real 3D quality - Yeah I know you gotta try hard to make 'em flat, but the transparency and angle of cut allow the fins or blades of white banding really separate out, looks great! Thanks so much for sharing them with us Raquel,

Cheers,

H
