theme
With Christmas knocking at the door, it would be seasonal to make cabs using Christmas colors. Any true cab, either calibrated or free form, made from any red or green stones, or something sparkly. A druzy would fit the bill for that (nothing faceted). I already have one picked out! You shouldn't find that too limiting. A cab of druzy cannot be domed in the usual fashion, lest you flatten out the crystals. As such, druzy cabs need not be domed. Maybe they can be specially shaped, such as a bell shaped bell.
cab 1 Christmas agate
cab 2 serpintine
Cab 3 opal 
cab 4 snowflake obsidian
cab 5 Druzy
cab 6 woodland ranch plume
cab 7 green garnet
cab 8 bloodstone
cab 9 alaskan thunder-egg material |

Yippee! Thanks everybody - lots of other beautiful entries, I was amazed the little green Christmas tree didn't run away with it. Thanks beefjello for the prize too! I'll contribute a prize for February's contest. Let's see . . . what will the theme be? We did hearts last year, and I think we did pink/red the year before, so let's depart from Hallmark holidays and go with: One Cab Wonders! Cabs from slabettes or rocks or endcuts where you basically just cab the whole thing, or where the material is only big enough for one cab, even if you end up cutting a bit of boring part off. Ideally though, ones where you just clean up the edges and dome it. |
