I forgot to put the quarter in he photo but these are wrapped in 22g so you can kinda get the idea. The cabs are 45mm tall. They are not huge, but really thick. I sketched the designs that I wanted, but neither one came out like the drawing. This one is Petrified wood from my friends scrap bucket. He only makes spheres so I get my pick of the stuff he cuts off.  This one is another from Agategrrl's scrap pile. I don't remember what it is.  Thanks for lookin. Amy |

Thanks everyone. Unintentional ghosts. That's all I am going to see when I look at that one now. Deja-vu from Superior agates here. This whole thing is getting spooky. LOL

Yeah, hes a boxer, hes my boy.We got him at about 5 weeks old. Had to leave him by himself in a cold house for 3 days when my grandson was born 8 years ago. When I got back home he wouldnt let me out of his sight,rode on my feet, slept on my shoulder chewing on my hair. Still sticks with me every move I make. My wife bought him to be a lap puppy  snuffy |

my boxer kew she wasn't allowed on the couch but if I sat on the floor she was in my lap immediatly. She would follow me from room to room and sleep in whatever room I was in. If I left the room she would give me a look like "can't you hold still, I'm trying to sleep" and she would follow me anyway. Boxers are practically human. I took her to work with me every day. I owned a dog grooming shop, so it was the logical thing to do. She developed heart trouble at 6 years old and we lost her. I miss her. She was my best friend. Now I have a cockatoo. Which thinks she is human too.

O, these are really beautiful. I love both designs. Since everyone is talking about ghosties, I see 3 right in the middle of the first one in a red "spotlight" lol.
