Wow, I think these both turned out great! Making one for your Mother-In-Law, that takes some guts...

Thanks Mike!  I was happy to do it for her. She's always doing stuff for the family...the "farm" family...which is all their kids as well as their spouses and all the grandkids. She's a heckuva seamstress and is always making quilts for people. Plus, she makes my father-in-law and me Velveeta cheese sandwiches with salsa melted a little into the cheese...which are amazingly good when out hounding!  |

If I took you over to their house when you come up here, you'd be a part of the family before we got our shoes off at the front door...they're just that type of people. Yes, I did. |

I really like both of them jasoninsd. Your MIL is gonna have a heck of a time deciding. Why don't you just give her both of them in payment for the Velveeta and salsa sammiches. |

I will if she can't decide. However, I know her plans for it will only take one...at least I think...so she might have to change her design to incorporate both. LOL My own mother had her 75th b-day last month. I told her she could pick out one of any of the wraps I'd done so far as a b-day present...she couldn't narrow it down, so she left with more than one! LOL |

I love that your mom liked your wraps so much she couldn't decide. That's a supreme compliment in my book!  |

Those look great. Tough choice for sure although I'm not exactly sure that first one is Rocky Butte Picture Jasper, it looks more like Biggs. The Rocky Butte Jasper I have has more colors in it than browns.

I really like the composition on the first one. My mom is 89 and likes to go through all my finished tumbles looking for ones that remind her of animals. I have to do separate tumbles in the lot-0 to keep enough of the rough shape. |

The Rocky Butte Jasper I have has more colors in it than browns. Thanks Diane! I understand on the ID. I've got several different pieces of Rocky Butte. The majority of what I see as Rocky Butte has green tones or blue tones in it. But every once in a while, there are pieces with browns only... That being said, I know this is definitely "picture jasper". I will if she can't decide.

My mother-in-law liked them both, but she decided on the first one. She said it looked like you were looking around a tree on the right side to a hillside scene in the distance. I told her she passed the Rorschach test! LOL I think it's awesome that your mom still likes to see your "artwork"...I feel the same way when my mom sees the things I've done too. |

It is, now that I have some magnet information from Benathema. Maybe I will get some "Artwork" put on her refrigerator just like old times. |
