I got a call from the only local arts & crafts store that had a lady there wanting to know how to polish up some rocks she had collected when she had visited some distant relatives in Newfoundland. He called me & let me talk to her. She brought her rocks by, mostly small ones she had picked up. I ended up cabbing them & then wrapping a couple of small ones for her little cousins (6 & 9) for Christmas presents. Later on I will give her a lesson in wire wrapping. She used to be a florists so she has worked with wire some. I still have more to do but there is no rush for them. Here is one of the rocks she said I could slab. Really kind of neat looking & she let me keep one.

Beautiful pieces, Donnie! I can't imagine living in a place with so much color in the stones! Amazing what people bring home with them!

Good deeds are recorded in sky. Good onyah. It was beautiful beach pebbles in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick that convinced me that I needed to start tumbling . All of the pendents made from those stones are now given away and hopefully being worn by appreciative recipients. Congratulations on helping a friend and creating beautiful things. Tom
