Well this is the next bunch of bugs I've gotten done. Still playing with slightly different designs & stone combos. Carved some Austrailian Chrysopraise for the body on the one dragonfly. Variscite (Lucin) for the other bodies. Lapis for the one dragonflys wings. The others are Kingman Turquoise. These are so much fun to make (except the buffing LOL). I love playing with the different stone combos. I thought about turning the Variscite eyes. So they looked cross eyed LOL. The buterflys eyes are 4mm & the dragonflys are 6mm. Thanks for looking & hope you like them.

I'm thinking about. After I do another couple of designs that I might run a poll. To find out which design is the most popular.

Beautiful. I am partial to butterflies so that's my favorite. I'd say of the dragonflies I like the one with the lapis wings. What about making a lapis body with turquoise wings, could be pretty too. Great combinations you are putting together, keep em coming.

RickB: Cheaper by the dozen? Nov 10, 2024 7:07:13 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)
