Hello, Everyone! Those days I received a box with Poppy jasper slabs and rough from Steve - Rocklicker. Really great and diverse stuff, this poppy jasper is so beautifully colored and patterned! Thanks again Steve! Today I made the first cab (Morgan Hill Poppy), which I also wrapped: front: back: side: This is Ina's favorite stone, she wanted to have a poppy jasper pendant after watching some great Poppy cabs that you, folks, posted here before. Special thanks to you, extra special thanks to Steve - Rocklicker and thanks all of you for looking. Adrian PS. The colors are even brighter in real, especially the red. The cotton wires in the top are there because I polished the silver by rubbing it with cotton and lipstick. I have to clean it better.

Gorgeous, Adrian. Keeping the wire its normal shape, rather than twisting it, gives the piece a more elegant feel. Wonderful work. Keep em coming.

That came out beautufully! That cab is stunning. It goes so well with the groove style, and you really captured a nice pattern. Glad to see the jasper worked out for you. You really brought it to lfe! Seeing that really inspires me. Steve
