Me again! and yep...that genie has control over me!! ;D
I don't know if this is the proper place to post this...but tough!

I am experimenting with dome polishing different stones I have. I like the idea of putting a dome polish or a finished polish on some of my rocks just for display purposes. I really don't know what I'm doing...but the more I practice the more I can tell what I need improving on.
this is a poiece of Dino Bone that I wanted to use for display. I wanted to put a dome polish on top...but leave the sides and bottom alone for comparison type show an tell.

the other one I did is a little Laguna. This is a little different as it seems like it wasn't sure what it wanted to do in its formation. Pretty neat and it reminds me of those little white Brachs candies with the yellow and red thingies inside. have no idea why.....it just does!

That's it for tonight!

I have some dryhead pieces that I got on ebay, some of them have a polished face and some have a dome. The rest is natural.
