John, those are so pretty! You are getting very good with those freeform cabs! Good wrapping job also! You have learned and accomplished a lot since you started this hobby in January. Progressed much farther along than me and I am envious and jealous!  llana |

Yeah all those buttons are a bit intimidating at first, but you will eventually figure them out. I have yet to find a way to take a pic of shiny rocks with the flash and not have it shine back at you in the rocks. I have also discovered that sometimes using the flash washes out the color a bit. That's why I always just take them outside when I can. They just come out so much nicer.

you could start selling those on eBay this minute Sands and i'm sure they would move. those are gorgeous pieces. you truly have got to be pretty darn good at this in a very short time. i am humbled by the nice wire wrap too.....
i have a Sony Cybershot too! yer right, too many buttons. did you get a bigger mem stick yet or did you get it with one? anyway, good score, they don't make the nice ones anymore.

Wow, Sands! Not only are you a great shaper of rocks, AND a great friend to all of us here on the forum...........but you are obviously also a GREAT dad!
I'll bet I'm not the only one here that really appreciates all that you do! Thanks, Sands!

You are such a sweety, Sands. Sounds like your daughter is a really great kid, and that has eveything to do with having a great parent.
Think I've one out ;D
