OK, it's not the fanciest or nothing, but I did at least get this done. I had planned to cab today, but that fell through. So, I wrapped this straight through. That's an accomplishment for me and a sign, I think, that I am getter over the need to smoke while I work. Honestly, it has been so hard! I never want to go through this mess again.

Anyway, here is my gaspeite, turquoise pendant. The little beads with the turquoise are laser cut to sparkle.

Thanks for looking

Congrats on both accomplishments! Adrian

Welcome back. Now we need Tommy back!!

Haha Tommy hasn't gone anywhere - but thanks for the sentiment

Just got *SO* much going on blah blah blah and this and that going on blah blah blah haha. My muse has not returned yet, BUT I did psych myself to work on a few cabs the other night and my 140 grit Nova promptly and spontaneously self destructed - the belt let loose from the foam and created a large wrinkle ... groan. Gotta wait till after Christmas now to buy a new one.

The colors are so vibrant and sure make for a show stopper of a piece.
