Well I finally finished another batch. This one had been going since November. Its a mix of 7 hardness rock and was done in a rotary tumbler. I prefer to do the course grits in a rotary and finish up in a vibe but I have to run the vibe in the garage and its been too cold.

Th whole batch.

Some woods.

Mozarkite, one of my favs.

Some carnelian.

Assorted agates.

Bots.

Closeup of some of the bots.

Thanks for looking.

I love the carnelian, too...speaking of which, I've got a bag of it from The Rock Shed around somewhere. I should dig it up and tumble it.

I love the shine. I wish my pics would show the shine my tumbles got. It's probably the photographer, LOL. Tonja

	Today is the tomorrow you were so worried about yesterday! Contentment is not found in getting everything you want but in realising how much you already have.

So, what is the large midnight blue with the v-neck in the first pic? About 10:30, haha. That would look amazing wrapped so you could see the 'v' or "grooved", I think. Killer batch, Tony!

I like the bots and the pet woods very much! In the third pic, the bottom dark stone pictures a woman who is hugging a big rock. Adrian

Karen, I'm not sure what that "V-neck" is other than a slice of agate. Never thought of having it wrapped. Adrian, I see the woman too, good eye.
