Hi there,

I thought I share this with the members that do not know me from the other forum.

Since coming in from the cold and joining my first forum in December I have played with a lot of different materials, but Agates have easily become my favorites.

Here are a few of my favorites created this year:

Thanks for looking, hope it's not tooo boring, Kurt

Now I need to find a way to make them reasonably seized and then we are in business.

I placed the Green Moss, so the snail would need to pass in front, but the centipede decided that he needed to be there too without my permission.

Kurt,

I've loved seeing all these as they were posted earlier on the other forum. They are all fine works, but the fourth and the last really stand out as being very exceptional.

C'mon, show 'em some more goodies! I know you've got 'em!

Whoa.... (shaking my head...) you leave me speechless and in awe Kurt!!!!

Edit: I passed over the skull completely, then my 15 year old son walked in and said "COOL! Make me a skull cab like that!!!" I looked at him funny then looked at your cab again....

You really do have a vision in your head! Fantastic!!!

Can't take all the credit. Was not planed that way, things crumbled away from this Berber Agate and I only found out about the strong red color as I held up the cab against the light and took pictures. Thats how it looks without the light.

Daniel; I'm reworking a few stones. I should be able to show the Jade-hand in completed form (re-cut and fully polished) by the coming weekend. If not, I will bring back my favorite Jaspers for the time being.
