Diana (deedolce) was kind enough to send me some little slabs with the roaming wire. Here are a couple I finished. I undercut the line in the middle. This is the first of this material I have cut, so I learned something. I had no idea that would happen!!! Attachments:

Here's another. I don't know what it is, but it was really hard and made a good size cab. I sooo need the practice with ovals. This is a little higher on one side because of how I got the dop stick on, but it isn't too bad. Thank you, Diane Attachments:

You're so welcome! I'm glad you're having fun with them. Gosh, I don't know what that last rock is, but you did a fantastic job with all!

Thank you At first I thought it was an OJ, but the colors seem too different- could be though. Or, maybe some kind of poppy jasper, except that I think it's an agate. Dunno. My daughter loves it! I'm gonna make something for her with it.

Thanks! Helen, it started out even cooler. The white patch was just a round moon looking thing before I started grinding. It is cool, though.

OH, Tela is the expert cabber, I just sent along a few small slabs with her wrap in the 'Roaming Wire III' box!

Thank you!! Dee, I'm so glad you like the name Dee because I have such a hard time mixing up Diane and Diana. Dee, you will be.

Great cab. It looks kindof like Rain Forest jasper form Australia.

Hub, you got it! I am in love with Gene and addicted to rocks. Lynn- I was thinking maybe that, too. There was another small piece that may have been a broken part of that one and it for sure looks like rain forest jasper.
