May 2017 Fun Cab Challenge
This is a challenge to yourself... What is the best cab that you can create... posting the results of your creation whatever the outcome (just because the cab may not be the best please post anyway and if you like ask for feedback to improve).
Theme chosen by prior month winner gemfeller: best freeform cabs entrants can come up with: no templates, no standard square, rectangular, round, oval, pear or triangle shapes -- just creative shapes based on patterns within the slabs cutters choose to use.
I think it's important to post images of the original slabs and some indication of what the entrants "see" as a finished cab in the stone. I often find that inclusions or hidden fractures can alter my original cab ideas and I have to make "course corrections" as I'm cutting. But I think we should see where the entry is going from start to finish.
Rules:
All hand made cabbing techniques may be used.
Cabs entered must be hand shaped (can be finished in a tumbler) and be completed by the last minute of the month in your timezone. They can be started before the month but only finished during the month. You must have 1 photo of ether a preform or slab of the rock. You can enter up to 3 individual finished piece (not combined) photos and 1 of the 3 photos will be used for voting to see what cab folks like the most (please note the photo you want used). You can change your photos or improve your cab and place new photos in your original post replacing old photos by the deadline.
Finished jewelry cabs may not be entered (unless otherwise specified by the theme). It is OK if there is a hole drilled in the cab without a jump ring, as long as there is no extras on the rock (wire, chord, etc.)
All entries submitted to this contest must be unique to this competition (not submitted in several different competitions). Any duplicates will not be included in the voting list.
Feel free to share with us the story behind your workings or material.
Also, don't forget to include the name of the material.
If a tie occurs in the voting the breaker will be whoever submitted the finished item first.
If there are any questions feel free to ask. Beginners to old timers are welcome.
If you would like feedback (constructive criticism) ask for folks to pm you if they wish to offer tips. If you are new and think your cab isn't too good but its the best you can do post it anyway, getting feedback is how i got to where i am now!
Prize : winner is allowed to chose theme for the month following voting, no physical prize yet.
