I have finally finished another batch within the rotary and I love it!

The picture jaspers are wonderful!!! Most if not all have a shiny but matte finish. They are very pretty!! However ... on the entire batch I got exactly what I always want in my batches and that is a smooth and silky finish. The picture jaspers are as smooth as silk!!!! I do not think I would want them shiny as they are beautful in the matte!!! I love them.

The others came out shiny as glass and I am so pleased.

Most of you (probably all) know that I have been a bit discouraged about the vibe. Now that I know I started using it with rough not intended for the vibe, I am attempting to at least finish it all the way through.

More later on the vibe ....

Enjoy the pics!!

That looks like a pretty sweet batch! Yep, the picture jasper is a bit softer and always seems to get just to a matt finish but that is fine. They are very pretty!
I can never get my crazy lace to look that good so you really did an excellent job there!
