Hi everyone! I spent a ton of time downstairs before Christmas both cabbing and making jewelry. I thought I'd share... Blue lace agate bracelet. This one was for my sister in law. She's getting married next summer, and I wanted to make her "something blue". I agonized over the stone, but finally landed on this lovely blue lace agate. My husband make this really awesome custom box for it, too. I only have a pic of the bottom. But, the bottom is padauk, and the top was a lovely maple.  These two are Willow Creek for my mom and sister.   |

BOth are very beautiful. I love that texturing you put on the pendants, really makes the stone stand out.
Greatly enjoyed seeing your designs:)

Gorgeous! You're having fun, aren't you!
How did you pattern the plate for the willow creek? Do you have a rolling mill?

Gorgeous! You're having fun, aren't you! How did you pattern the plate for the willow creek? Do you have a rolling mill? Definitely a ton of fun!!! The patterns on the Willow Creek pieces were made by texturing hammers. I plan on getting a rolling mill soon, but these were done the old fashioned way. I have several texturing hammers from Fretz...they're NICE. Pricey, but really, really nice. |

I've drooled over those hammers! Now that I've seen what you can do with them, I'm going to have to drool some more.  Really love the detail it added to it! |
