I have some free time this morning. Just to prove that any dummy can twist a rock all up in a big mess of wire, here goes!
P075 - South Cady Jasper Teardrop - A simple design for a gift.
P076 - Amethystine Oval Tear - Smaller than it looks in this picture. Need to stop taking giant mugshots.
See. Very happy with this one. The wife found it and claimed it before I could give it away.
P077 - South Cady Jasper Shield. I like the new material I found at this location. Even if the wrap is ugly.
P078 - Colo River Chert Freeform. I don't know what this rock is really. Found it in the Colorado some place. Wrapped it.
P079 - Amethystine Athena Circle - Had to fashion this in a rush as a gift. To replace P076. Not polished really.
P080 - Holt Canyon Jasper Tear - Small,and prettier than it looks in this mugshot.
P081 - Goodsprings Malachite Shield - Tiny, and pretty. Can't find anything that will polish this rock really.
P082 - Goodsprings Malachite Teardrop - Large rock resists polish, wrapped in horrible Parawire.
Thanks for stopping by.

Nice work, Bill! Really like the material, too. My fav is the Colorado mystery. I like that color of the binding on the malachite, too. Works very well.  |

Great work. Love that Amethystine your wife swiped. I would've swiped it, too!

I believe that with practice and persistence, in another 20 years or so I should be able to start producing art along the lines of your early works perhaps.

Thank you for the nice words, all. And Merry Christmas!
Well, I found that the Jewelry Supply Co. had a 70% off sale on beads on Cyber Monday. So I bought about 25 bucks worth of beads, and about half a dozen varieties of Swarovski Crystals.
So some of my next efforts will try to include beads or crystals the best I can. A brand new way to botch up a perfectly good stone!
