In order to close the deal, I had to agree to photograph and post some friends of the Girdle models. Apparently these gals aspire to be lingerie models for the renowned giant of the industry, Victoria Stone Secrets. They hope to be discovered through this exposure. I told them that they would have a better chance if they contacted Maryann. They refused. They are afraid of her handcuffs and whip. So without further ado: A Chrysy; from a box either by Amber or Jamie. I forgot which box. Sorry. From a stone I collected from the beach. This is from a box that Barb recently sent me. I had to take 2 shots because the faint banding is just so pretty. Back lit with natural light Mook from Dave. This will be going back to the wheels as I know I can do a better job on it. I don’t know if it is just needing more time or if Mookite tends to “cloud” with Tin Oxide. If anyone can offer advice, I'd love to hear from you. Well, that is it for the Girdle model series. I had a blast with this and am glad you guys got a chuckle. You guys rock Lori

Wow, I love the colors of the first one. The milky banded one is sweet, I like the subtle banding. Great job on all of them.

Lori you are doing great!!!! All my chrysacolla comes from Jamie, LOL. I love the banded agate, try cerium on the Mook if tin made it cloudy, I thought I used tin but when one fails I try the other, and then if no luck back to the wheels! So glad to have your witty charm back! Victoria Stone models, LOL

I don't understand Girdles, but the cabs are sweet, especially the Mook, what a nice shape on that one. Karock

So where is the Victoria Stone? Did I miss it? lol Great job Lori. I love the shape of the last one, you got perfect curves which is something noobies tend to struggle with. I guess you wire work helps a lot with recognizing smooth curves. I hadn't seen tin cloud anything yet, that can happen with cerium though. Some stones just don't like polish though. Keep up the good work girl.

Finding that banding is always a plus for any agate. Tom and Debby

Thanks guys. Tony and Amber, thanks for the tips. Tony, thank you for such a nice compliment. Though this shape is not in your templets, I have been using your templets and it helps a lot.

Maybe I need to add that one to my templates. ;D I hardly ever use templates anymore, not even for ovals, but Amber tells me I need to do more sets with pendants and earrings so I guess I'll need to break them out.
