1 week in Tin Oxide

First pic....in the Rough

2nd Pic....Love the Tin Oxide

3rd Pic....Nother shot

4th Pic....Stripes showed up good on closeup

5th Pic....My daughter decided she didn't like her bed and improvised. Had to share

Hope you enjoy the picts.

We are all like that ugly rock stuck in the dirt and mud. Capable of being picked up, tossed around, beaten, then gloriously shined to perfection!

Great shot of your daughter. Amazing ideas kids come up with. And they are so mobile at that age, if I slept like that I would feel it for weeks. Great pics of the rocks too.

Awww, that's so funny, aren't kids great! ;D ;D I'm guessing you must have a vibe since you skipped the coarse stage. You got some great shine there and some very neat looking rocks. Good job, theres some neat lines in that rock, did you have any idea what it was?

I'll have to keep my eyes open for some more. Ya, I do have a vibe and have been told to not put in the course!!! Gaetz

I do like those stones! The banding in them is really nice. Great shine too.

The pic of your daugter - LOL! Kids are so funny. I'm surprised the cat let her have the basket! Almost every cat I have ever known, loved a basket or box to play/sleep in.
