I love the background textures you use. They add a nice contrast to the smooth texture of the stone.

Sweet pendant! You do such nice cut-outs on the backs of your pieces - can you post a picture of the back of this one?

I also flipped my laptop on its side and back, so I could see how the stone looks at different angles. Amazing change in what I see (or focus) in the rock's design.

Beautiful cabbing and smithing. I really feel like I need to learn a new skill, but the resources to do so are lacking.
