Having fun this Easter weekend! I posted part of these on the Cab Thread, but here it goes a bit further, so I added the photos here too: Here's the rock I chose to play with yesterday.  After it was cabbed. Surprised me to bits, what it ended up like!  Here's newly into the wrap. I don't sketch beforehand, so usually have no idea what it's going to end up like. At this point I added a Czech faceted glass bead, and a colored pearl in, and the base copper wrap.  A little further in, and I added a couple of smaller copper beads.  And this is how it turned out!  I hope you enjoyed my little photo diary of a rock! |

Thanks everyone, I like to see the process myself, because I usually always end up surprised, lol.
I know Tela, I had no idea what it would be like, I've never worked Confetti Chrysocolla before, (I know, I have too much rock) and was pretty amazed what was hiding under that muddy matrix!
I have a future date with Jamie to go rockhounding for it, woot!!
