more creative nonsense by yours truly... this is double drilled mex lace sqare with glass and manmade beads, i have a matching stone for a his and hers combo for this...  this is another agate...  this a piece of the blue lace i got from Redwoodrocks, a little whimsey here, suitable for a younger girl...  thanks to this site, i think i can say this is graveyard point agate....  and this is another mex lace piece, kinda looks like a dragon to me....  thanks for looking, KD |

You have outdone yourself, girl! Those are absolutely beautiful! It would sure be hard to choose which one I like best. They are all fabulous.
You do all the shaping and grinding with the dremel, don't you? Do you shape them then put them in the tumbler or do you go start to finish with the dremel? However you do it, you do good!

Forgot to add that the way you display them on the chunk of rough is really nice.

Just outstanding, KD. Do you have plans for them? They should sell well. It's tough, when you know you have started with the rough stone, shaped, polished, drilled, strung beads, to know what your "love" is worth. That's my delimma, who will love these as much as me?
WTG!

thank you all for your encouraging words.
llana, i don't use a dremel, i preform with a trim saw and then tumble, then drill with a drill press.
cookie, you got that right, i want to sell them to at least support my habit but it is difficult to part with them and to put a value on them is also a dilemma for me.
i need to play around with the camera some more, but thanks again for the comments on my "marketing" shots...i hope you all don't get bored with all this!
thanks,
KD
