And it is a VERY FEEBLE attempt. My Family is doing a Christmas Ornament exchange this year and of course I had to do something out of rocks. Here's my attempt. I hope whoever gets it enjoys it. I still need to do some clean-up but I had to set it aside for the evening. I had something totally different in my mind....but this is how it all came together. Brazilian Agate B-Flies, and a Botswana B-fly sitting on a piece of tumbled Petrified Wood.   Steve |

I don't understand - apparently you don't think they are very good??? I disagree - I think they are wonderful! I wish I could do that.

I know they would look great on any tree, and I'll bet whoever gets them doesn't put them away with the rest of the Christmas ornaments

You all made me feel so Good! I hope whoever get's it enjoys it as much as you all did. There is lots of room for improvement and enhancement....so I'll be working on that in the coming year. I hope it brings them joy year round as well.

I'm with Tony and everyone else. They look pretty darn good to me. A lot nicer than a standard ole glass bulb. I'd rather have a tree full of those. (The Butterflies)
