Hi, everyone! Yesterday I finished three pendants (groove wraps): two Burro Creek cabs for my girls and a Dino bone for me. Here are the cabs together with the happy owners (I was concentrated to hold the camera but believe me, I'm happy too  )  And some close-ups: That's Ina's pendant. Too bad the pink area is soft, didn't polish almost at all and had been undercut a litle. The color is so sweet!  That's mine, a Dino bone from Stonesthatrock - awesome material Ralph and Mary Ann, thank you again. But you should had warned me you use oil in your saw, I found it while licking the slab for finding the best pattern   And this is Ioana's Burro Creek - from the same slab. She likes very much the druzy.  Thank you for looking. Also I kindly ask you to vote where would you like me to post those groove wraps in the future. They involve both cabbing and wire work, so I can't decide which is the best place for them. Thanks for help, Adrian |

Hi Adrian: Really nice work and thanks for posting the photos. My suggestion is to leave them in wire wrapping as that's the most obvious aspect. |

Well, I want to see the slabs in the Slab area when you get them or cut them. Possibly even with some shapes outlined. Then I want to see the cabs in the cabbing area when you cut them and again when they are polished. Finally I want to see them in the wrapping area when they are wrapped. I really like process.

Great family portrait!
I check both sections almost daily, so where ever you want to put them is fine with me.
Just let us know when the Smithsonian calls and wants a sample of your art for their museum.
Great work..................Tony

Love your groove wraps and will enjoy them where ever you put them. I do have to figure out how to get one of those tee shirts though.

I love them, Adrian! I guess they seem to fit best in Wire Wraps, since they are finished pieces of jewelry. But we don't mind wherever you post them! I know it is extra work for you to post in cabs "here are some cabs I wire-wrapped, here's a link," and then post the pendants in wire wrapping. I'll cast my vote.

Beauties wearing beauties. Oh the wonder of nature and creativity! If it were not for yours and other top notch cabbers the aspiration of newbies (myself) might not have direction.
Thank you for sharing your pics.
