OK, before we get to the leaves, got some catching up to do. Fire Agate basically done, but dont like the baby yet. Still needs deepening on all sides. Like the fire though. Black opal is also basically done by now, but dont like the face. So awaits a major facelift in the future. Now, got two entries for contests with Autumn theme in the works: First up A Dino, easy to work, not perfect cut and undercutting, but in this case it works for me just fine. Will need a silver or gold setting with the bail forming the stem of the leaf. The second one is a Montana (2 x 2 inches right now) , just started today. Double-sided with integrated bail. Thanks for looking, Kurt

Yeah man your right, has that alien look to it. The blue color does give off the look of a wet fin. Nice catch lol. Bone...one of my Favs! and the last Montana, I keep seeing one of those little short legged Scottish breed of dog.

Thanks everyone. Montana is a pain to work, unforgiving down to the last scratch. But soooo worthwhile when it does work out. Just need to ensue, I dont overdo it and let ambition get in the way, again.
