My 19 yo daughter said I should make ear plugs for kids who think it's cool to put big holes in there ear lobes. I asked a near by tattoo shop about them and apparently theres a big demand and he asked me to make them up some to sell. If people like them and buy them then I'll make them more. They not really fun to make, takes about a hour 1/2 pair and you grind your finger tips off holding them on the wheels. Silver Sheen Obsidian  Tri Flow Obsidian  Sodalite  Some sort of jasper  Brazilian Agate  And a moonstone pendent I made for my wife's friend  Tim |

when I am working tiny stuff I use the rubber finger tip guards you get at office supply places and put them on the thumb and first two fingers of both hands. Be sure to get them big enough so you won't cut off the blood to your fingers  Nice ear plugs and pendant! |

It looks like a lot of work and I bet they go fast.
The Moonstone pendant is beautiful. I love the subtle colors in it.

I read the title and wondered... hmm, how would rocks work as earplugs? I work in a paper mill and wear them daily (the little foamy ones you squish and put in your ear). Turns out I was thinking of somthing else LOL!
I think they're very unique, and can see them selling quickly. They're very nice material too.
The pendant is also beautiful. Nice work!

Well if I wanted large holes in my ears, I would definitely want to fill them with those obsidian ones, they are sharp looking, LOL
I love the moonstone, is that the MT stuff?
