I don't usually work on Sat. unless DH is working... well, he had a really long honey-do list that has been piling up all winter. Poor guy. But he got it all done. YAY! Now it's hobby time. I'll be doing some wrapping while he paints. But, while he was busy today, I played some more with some jade and did a few cabs. I got my new stencils (which I'll write about somewhere else). I marked out a green dino bone scrap I got today. It's sooo pretty. Anyway, here they are. Magnaprase- much better in person and less yellow. - Just looked at my notes. This is magnesite in plasma agate fro CA.  Green and red gem bone- what a polish it took!!!  A pair destined to be requested earrings for a client who likes the quirky look- as do I.  a nice golden gem bone with lots of agate filled cells. (no pits, just looks like it in the picture)  a big Josephine's Crown  OJ  ... and that was it for a Sat. Hope y'all are having a great weekend! |

Those are some fine looking cabs — as usual! — but the earring pair is the winner!

They allways (sic) look great, but I like the play with the earrings. I think that's a great idea with the opposing colors.

Beautiful cabs, rockjunquie! I like the Sonora pair, but that first dino bone did it for me. It's gorgeous! |

I fell in love with Josephine's Crown immediately.
(Hey if it's metal - even if it just looks like metal - then Kai loves it!)

It is a tie for me- the earrings and Josephine's Crown.

Love them all. That magnesite is really cool, but the ocean jasper is the winner for me. Great work!

Thanks everyone! You are all safe from a rock post today.  No cabbing. Wrapping- if I can muster the enthusiasm. It's a lazy Sunday. |

You’re gonna have to explain what that means. I don’t understand. |

You’re gonna have to explain what that means. I don’t understand. I'm totally embarrassed by how genuinely slack my day was. I didn't get a damn thing accomplished that I had intended to do. I did play a game with DH that lasted a while, though. That counts for something. |
