I got the box!! I love the pendant. It's my first woven wrap. Thank you amyk ! I also love the stone. It's a Martin Jasper from St. Martin, hand collected, slabbed and cabbed by melhill1659 Here it is....so pretty!   These are the cabs I get to choose from to wrap for Tela.  These are the slabs in the box. I will choose one or two and add some too.  And lastly there are all these pretty preforms. I will pick a few and replace with some of my own.  Thanks Amy and Mel for all the goodies......Now to get started, this is going to be fun. Andrea |

It's here! I got a well packaged MFRB today from meviva full of goodies. The first picture is the contents 2nd is the beautiful, delicate silver wrap. Well done, Andrea! It's awesome- thank you! Also pictured are my cab choices. One is a tempting, very bright lab. 3rd are the slabs to choose from - got my eye on a few of those. 4 is a close up of a heart I found on some red puddingstone/breccia. 5 is the "paying it forward" to me, including one of my favs- peanut obsidian. WOW!! I SO was not expecting that. Thank you so much! Andrea raised the bar.  I just took the pictures and went through the things real quick. I'll get back to you about my choices and with a better picture of Andrea's wrap. IMG 0338:  IMG 0339:  IMG 0341:  IMG 0342:  IMG 0343:  |

Thanks rockjunquie I'm glad you like the wrap It was the first time I used silver. I hope you are able to get a cab or two out of the peanut obsidian. It has some cracks. I have had the piece for a few years but cut it for the first time to send you a slab. The other slabs are some of my favorites from the ones that I've been cutting recently. Andrea |

Andrea You sent me your first silver wrap??? I'm honored. But, if you would rather keep it so you can look back on it in 5 years, I'll send it back. It is really good. I bet you were sweating it, though. I know when I first started using precious metal, I was nervous as hell. LOL! |

More pictures.... Here is meviva Andrea's first silver wrap. Very nice- even looks great in a close up. Her work is second to none y'all.  Here are the cabochons that I will choose between to wrap.  rhodonite, I think.... more raspberry in person  A really cool fortified agate- reminds me of teepee canyon a bit  ...and some MT agates  Here are the slabs I chose.... y'all knew I would pick these- (yes) rhodonite, oj, lapis  This is what I am replacing them with stromatolite, seraphinite, rosalinda, angelite, a Texas agate I forgot the name of but it is written on the back, Morgan Hill poppy, flowering tube onyx and a really bad a** agate of some kind. These are all slabbettes, good for at least on big cab or 2 smalls.  I'm waiting to hear from Tammy about whether she cabs or not. I'm setting up a pay it forward for her, too. If she does not cab, I'll send the slabs anyway, so she can pass them on to the next person. melhill1659 who is after Tammy? You? |

rockjunquie It is yours to keep. This was the kick in the butt that I needed to try the silver. I'm happy you like it. I was nervous but now I'm a little more confident. I will do another soon. I get the most nervous trying to finish the piece. The bail and what to do with the ends scare me...lol. Andrea
