Hi everyone! My name is Dorothy but everyone calls me Dot. I live in Lake Isabella, CA and love going to the Mojave Desert looking for all kinds of rocks. Hubby cuts them and I make jewelry from them. My favorite is Cabochons. I look forward to chatting and getting to know everyone here.

Hey guys, this is my good friend Dot. We met on an eBay board about 10 years ago and have enjoyed each others company ever since. Dot is, among other things a master beader. She beaded (is that a word?) a portrait of my wife that is just absolutely outstanding. Please give her a big RTH welcome.

Thanks for the welcome Curt! I've been looking for a place to talk rocks so thanks for sending me the link on your awesome find. One of these days I want to come and see your wonderful Cabs in person and maybe talk you out of a few Dot

Thank you geogoddess! I checked out your etsy stuff. I love your tumbled rocks jewelry and your beaded jewelry. I really need to get more stuff in the tumbler but always seem to put it off. I have a batch that I need to re-do because it didn't polish and I need to figure out what I did wrong.

Thanks Bikerrandy. I will have to show hubby your hot rods. He used to be a car and motorcycle nut but now he's just a nut Dot

This is a great place to figure out what you did wrong. While I'm happy with the stuff on my Etsy page... I have a bowl full of tumbled pieces on my work table now, that has an even better polish... after I learned tons of stuff here.

Welcome, Dot, good to have you here!
That beaded purse about made me fall out of my chair! That is awesome, and what a creative idea for the tail...
Look forward to seeing more of your work!

Thanks Amy. I ran out of white beads to finish the bottom so it's just sitting here waiting to be done.
