Well 4 didn't quite make it yet LOL
I got these finished today & have a few more in the works. Dragonfly's wings are Variscite, red coral body & swinging tail. Head/eyes is carved Chrysopraise. Both buterflies have Kingman Turquoise wings & red coral bodies. The smaller one has Lapis eyes. Got a couple more in the works yet. Didn't do much yesterday. Went to the Gem Faire to get more stone beads etc. Thanks for looking & hope you like them. They're fun to do in different sizes & styles of wings etc.

Beautiful. I like how you sepparated the cabs of each wing with a silver stripe, to the butterfly in the 2nd to last pic.

The silver work is great - a bit overwhelming for the stones according to my taste but i'm sure some other people don't find it like that.
And the necklaces with beads go so well with the stones in the butterfly and dragonfly. Looks like ancient jewelry.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

It looks like they took a LOT of work. I especially like the way you made the articulating abdomen on the dragonfly. Garry

amygdule: $20 for a Pastrami Sandwich Nov 9, 2024 23:11:01 GMT -5

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself. Nov 10, 2024 21:10:43 GMT -5

amygdule: I like my sandwich made by a talented artist that deserves a Tip...Thank You Nov 11, 2024 7:12:10 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: I make my own sandwiches and yet I never tip myself... OMG I'm the a@@hole! Nov 11, 2024 11:29:51 GMT -5

amygdule: Her sandwich taste better... Nov 11, 2024 17:07:29 GMT -5 *

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
