Yep, even though the forecast was for rain, I just had to get out and cut a few stones and preforms.
I received a very pretty slab of snowflake obsidian from tkrueger3 and with another slab I had that wasn't as pretty, well, I have some good sets of preforms. I used the slab I had for the earrings and the one Tom sent for the pendant size. I also had some other obsidian slabs that I decided to cut preforms out of.
When I started to cut a slab that I had thought was obsidian, I realized this one couldn't be. It is so much harder and on one cab that I cut, it had a rough underside that is a bit green, otherwise, it is all solid black looking. here are the preforms from that one. I have got to keep them far away from the Obsidian. They would destroy them in a tumble!
I cut up a little glass that I received from dessertdweller. It is much prettier in person than it looks here.
The next preforms were cut from a slab that I think I got from Tonyturner or bejewelme and the bottom ones are from a picture jasper that I slabbed.
I couldn't wait to slab a wonderstone that I also received from tkrueger3 and I was not disappointed! It has amazing patterns!
I also cut a couple slabs of obsidian from dessertdweller and a nodule from NorthShoreRocks. It is almost like a chinese writting stone but with red lines in it.
Then the skies opened up on me and by the time I cleaned up everything, well, I was dripping! My dogs didn't even want to get close to me.
Maybe I will get a little more done tomorrow.
