Thanks to my Neighbor! More work she did for me while I was out of town. I can't believe that my cabochons are actually in something someone could wear. I was so excited when she showed me what she had done. I had to order a bunch more supplies for her and I'm having her go through the bead magazine to fill out a order. I told her we can have a partnership. All i need is a sign over the Shed and one to put out on my lawn over the weekends. Rock Shop is OPEN!!!
Thanks to my neighbor Debbie!!! Love Ya! ;D

In the second, really like the shield on the far left. Last pic, middle keychain - really cool.

Those are sweet!! The orientation is perfect on all of them, that's the first thing people will notice if it isn't. Does she cab yet? Get her started! She's a natural, there's more to gluing bails on that most people think, especially the ones who haven't tried it. It can be a messy job, and the bail never seems to want to stay in the proper place while drying. She did great on every one of them

You gotta be careful though when you place that 2nd keychain in your pocket, OUCH! Adrian

Steve:
Duh hun what do you think we do with your beautiful cabs? I wear them all the time, the royal aztec and teepee from you being my favs! It is good to have a partner, and she seems to like the wrapping part, so go for it, bails are a PIA I always superglue my fingers, LOL, the stuff looks really nice!!!! I am so happy this has given you an increased FUN FACTOR to your cabbing! I can feel your excitement!
