I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted anything. Sorry the pictures are so big. They don't look that big on my computer. Astrophyllite- super coppery metal flashes across the back and front of this bead. Really pretty bead, from my stash. .jpg) Campitos, Mexico Turquoise. Really long stone. .jpg) Nice piece of Ajo, AZ shattuckite  Just now finished these and got a quick pic- rhodochrosite and crystals. The pink is much nicer in person.  Nipomo marcasite .jpg) Olympic orbicular poppy jasper- Olympic Peninsula, WA from Andy .jpg) African pietersite .jpg) Stichtite and African amethyst. Drummond Island Rocks these are the earrings that I was talking about. I didn't realize that I had not posted them before. Doh! .jpg) Thanks for looking!!  |

Superb! And the pictures aren't too big at all, they're just perfect to depict the astonishing details of your wraps and the amazing patterns of the stones.

I came back and looked at this thread three times and still cant find the right words to say how great all of these are. All grade "A" materials equally matched with superb wrapping.

Fine art indeed. This is glorious work.
The turquoise in particular looks like someone with their hands up in prayer.

Thanks y'all! I hope to have a few more done soon. I need to catch up. I wish I could make jewelry and cab at the same time. |

Those rhodochrosite earrings... Incredible! And I am bad at deciding whether to cut or wrap, if I had a cabbing machine I can't imagine how torn I'd be.

One helpful thing for me is that I cab in the house, which is loud, so I am forced not to do it when everyone is home. Those times, I wrap. |
