Hi there. Did not have anything really in quite a while, but while the Montana still needs another week and the Tasmanian material a new head bricks21 , this one is ready to wear. Got the idea recently, after a member took a completely different take on our challenges' theme. Glad she did, as this caused me to look into a different direction too. Took a Pawancawara cut-off from Daniel, re-purposed a Fire Agate done years ago, and an orphaned ugly duckling Pietersite that was send a long time ago as a filler in a bx from Christopher. Pawancawara and Fire-Agate became a brush, and the Pietersite fits perfectly with the strong color-differences here, as a background. Lowered into the Pietersite and then pinned and epoxied after giving a little silver wrap, ready to wear. Best colours I got today Thanks for looking, remain with best regards, Kurt

This is so cool! Really clever concept, and beautiful execution. I love how the fire agate glints through the strands of the brush, and how that ties in with the chatoyance in the pietersite. A+++

Thank you girls. Yep got lucky with the colour combo. Thought of using one element of Spectrolite, but then that might have clashed with the Pietersite. So, yes, I'm quite happy with the outcome. Wearing it since Tuesday, and soon to be replaced by the one in my avatar (hope for Sunday)

Beautiful! I've said it before and it still holds true - I love your work Kurt. You are creative on a level that most of us would need a ladder just to see up to.
