Billy, those are beautiful! I love Obsidian, but haven't yet been brave enough to even think about trying to do some.
Good work!

first thing i thought of was a indian dream catcher First thing I thought of was a necklace and earrings made of obsidian I bought the last time I was on the Navajo reservation in Arizona in 95. They were so pretty. I have thought of trying to make a dream catcher with some of my polished stones. Another thing on my list of things to make with my stones that I may never get around to doing!

Great job on those, if you can get a hole drilled in those that would make a beautiful necklace.
