this one left home today and the recipient will get it tomorrow as a birthday gift - i hope they like it  . i'm glad i'm not the giver cause i'd be a wreck watching their face to see if they liked it or they were just trying to be nice. but to me it was like letting a rock baby go out into the world  . sorry the pics are not too clear but i was in a rush to get a pic before it left and i cannot go take more now  . i was grumbling about that red reflection in the beads wondering what caused that and looked down and that's me - i have on a red sweatshirt - there's a photography lesson when photographing things that reflect - no red shirt!   kim |

Kim, that's gorgeous. You did a really beautiful job. I'm sure you're not going to have to worry about the recipient liking it at all. Great job!!

Hey Kim, I forgot to mention the copper tea-pot on eBay ... Did you hear about that? A gentleman (?) listed a polished copper tea-pot on eBay and when the photo's were sent through ... it showed the individual in his birthday suit ... yup, he was completely naked  ! Apparently he did not notice his own reflection in the photo ... or maybe he did? Anyway ... it was one of those eeeeeeuuuuuggggghhh moments  . This was months ago and is no longer up for consideration ... for you folks out there who are wondering if it is still listed ;D John |

kd yes i did the stone on the genie and it was one of those where you start with some shape and next thing you know you say what was i doing here and then i turned it and voila it was perfect! i got the clasp at fire mountain. kd i'm finding some new places to explore through the ads in the lapidary journals my neighbor gave me - one order i just got this week and was very satisfied with was from this place estore.hhhenterprises.com/e/index.htmlif you don't already get the lapidary journal you really should it will get your creative juices flowing and has some "how to" projects in every issue. kim |

Kim,that's so pretty. You are doing some great stuff. Hell, I can't even bevel a d**n rock, so I hate to even think of how bad I'd be a making jewelry! I'd like to do a belt buckle - they are big down here and the bigger the better - but until I can figure out how to turn out a decend rock on the grinder, I don't have an business trying anything else that I won't be able to do! Frustrated enough as it is! Just took a batch out of polish today and they look like crap too! I am not a happy camper right now! llana |

. i'm glad i'm not the giver cause i'd be a wreck watching their face to see if they liked it or they were just trying to be nice. but to me it was like letting a rock baby go out into the world 
. sorry the pics are not too clear but i was in a rush to get a pic before it left and i cannot go take more now 
. i was grumbling about that red reflection in the beads wondering what caused that and looked down and that's me - i have on a red sweatshirt - there's a photography lesson when photographing things that reflect - no red shirt!
