New to rock tumbling but have been working in stained glass for a few years. Recently started incorporating agates in four-panel prairie style shades. Below is one recently made with Lake Superior agates. The slices and tumbles were provided but others, but joined RTH to learn how to slice and tumble the agates so I can control what I get. The panels are 10" wide at the bottom. ![4 panel prairie style lamp with Lake Superior agates]()  |

You need to put photos in Flickr, or other outside hosts. Copy the BBC code into your message here. Bingo! We hope that including photos will be much easier soon.
By the way, welcome from California. There are several other members here from Michigan.

That is super cool. I was just in a local stained glass store this week. I'd love to make a picture out of just rock slabs instead of glass. It's hard to find the right colors though.

I suppose it would be hard to find the "right" colors. I'm partially color blind though, so I let others help me select glass. There are pictures on the web of lamps made entirely of agates, though I cannot say if the colors matched or were coordinated. The agates are beautiful in themselves so you might have more freedom in choosing colors than say if it were a painting. |

That is an awesome lamp. Great to have a new member post an outside of the box item. Thanks for taking the time to post the photo.

Sweet ! You did a fantastic job with that. Been talking to the wife about this kind of project for a while now. Something about the 40 year old carpet and kitchen counters keeps getting in the way though.
