here is some stuff i have been working on lately, this first pic i already posted the pendant, Kim wanted to see some beaded stuff, so this is with gold heishi bead accents with druk (green) beads and watermelon malaysian jade:  this pendant is some sort of plume agate, love the stone, BearCreek probably knows what it really is called, anyway, some Swarovski crystals, some malaysian jade and glass beads with gold accents:  OK, this is some Ocean Wave Jasper i got from Kim, more of those green Druk beads and goldstone beads with sterling silver accents, with earrings:  and here are some cabs i've been working on, left to right, a "button" of Biggs Jasper Sandsman sent to me, some sort of fossilized algae(?) and a good big chunk of mexican Crazy Lace.  thanks for looking, sorry about lack of scale for the cabs, the "button" is about 20mm/+/- american nickel sized.

I love them all, the Biggs, once again, looks like a desert scene - if this was a Krazycab I'd name it: Sand storm

i call it cheating..lol, but Rio Grande and Fire Mountain (amoung others) call them cinch mounts.
Doc sez they will fail so i started putting a skin like dab of epoxy on the stone before i do the mounting, seems to work. so far.........

Oooooooo KD, those necklaces are really pretty, you did
a great job matching beads and stones. Your Krazycabs
are really nice too, not sure which one I like the best
though, but I'm leaning toward the middle one.

KD, your stuff is so awesome. I wear my snakeskin jasper every chance I get. I love the plume agate piece (plume agates are my favorites!) you posted with the Swarovski crystals, and what are the big round pearl colored beads? I'm just now getting into beading, myself. You've inspired me to make some necklaces for my wire pendants...be cool. Shine on you KRAZY Diamond.  S |

Beautiful work, KD. Where do you get your beads? I aleays hold off for the late bids on Ebay, but I'm running low. Just stunning, KD, you rock. You are so multi talented. Thanks for sharing, so I can , of course, "borrow" a few ideas.  cookie |

Beautiful stones. That plume agate looks like one of those galaxy pics from the Hubble telescope.
