Zoran (Zotika) sent me some hand collected rocks from his country a while back, the green is chrysoprase, i can't remember what the pink stone is, but here is what i did with them (it's about 2" high and 1-1/2" wide):  and here is the back (for Tweet):  a good friend is retiring next week, so i think i will give this to her for a present. thanks for looking, KD |

KD, that is really beautiful. Can I ask how you attached the stone and beads? It looks like it was labor intensive but boy what I'm seeing was worth it.

i attach the cab with 330 epoxy to a fabric backing similar to this stuff: lacysstiffstuff.com/then i bead with a back stich (3 beads on, loop through the last one, repeat). then epoxy the leather to the back of the piece. yes, it is rather time consuming, but a great way of utilizing cabs! KD |
