You're on a roll Jason. What a
bunch of cool wraps, these and
all the others that you've done
recently. I also like how you
keep the stone as the main focus.

A great batch, Jason! I really do like the patina you are putting on those. The first and last are fantastic looking, especially that Montana Moss.

Love the last one. The wrap is perfect. Thanks Beth! I felt that stone needed to be pushed to the forefront visually. I really tried not to take anything away from that with the wrap.  You're on a roll Jason. What a bunch of cool wraps, these and all the others that you've done recently. I also like how you keep the stone as the main focus. Thanks Don! When I first started wrapping, I was pretty gung-ho about the wrap and tried to make that the focus. I have begun to think of wraps as "frames on a picture"...some pictures need ornate frames, while others need a frame that just lets the painting shine. Thanks Perk! A great batch, Jason! I really do like the patina you are putting on those. The first and last are fantastic looking, especially that Montana Moss. Thanks Brian! I love that first Prairie Agate. It's a pretty unusual one with all the different colors in it. And that last one...courtesy of you my friend! I wished I had a hundred more slabs exactly like this one...it is SUPER special! It's probably one of my favorite* ones I've done. *Note - my list of "favorites" is as long as my arm...and getting longer thanks to material like this! LOL |

That last one with the ghost fortifications is pretty great. All these cabs make it seem like you don't ever need sleep... maybe you're a robot? Sorry if this revelation messes up your programing to act like a real human. |

LOL That Montana agate looks a whole lot better than it does when it left our house! It's always fun to see what amazing transformations a simple rock can undergo. |

Looks like I missed this first go round. They are awesome, but I like the last one best. |

Well Jason. In addition to official gif and meme poohbah You are a badass cabber And digging though the archives I find that you are also a wrapper!!! Is that copper? Thanks Evan! It is copper. I put it through a Liver of Sulphur bath to get the patina. (My wife hates it when I start rapping...oh...you meant the other kind though! LOL) Looks like I missed this first go round. They are awesome, but I like the last one best. Thanks Tela! Yeah...there's something pretty cool about the simplicity of that wrap...I didn't want anything on the face of that particular cab. I like them all - LOL - but I think I like the 1st and last one the best. |

Well done sir. I also like the simplicity of the last one. It really frames the stone and makes you look at it

Well done sir. I also like the simplicity of the last one. It really frames the stone and makes you look at it Thanks Lunk! I need to go out and find some Montana Moss Agate that resembles this one! LOL - I only had a small slabette...but would like to find a truckload of this same type!  Tell me more about the sulfur flavored liver. Oh it's quite simple really. Oftentimes people think sulphur smells like fresh coprolite. And nearly everyone I know thinks liver tastes like fresh coprolite. So naturally, liver would then taste like sulphur.  (If you're seriously asking about what Liver of Sulphur is...heck if I know...I just know it puts a patina on metal - it oxidizes it - and stinks! LOL) Tell me more about the sulfur flavored liver. I can't wait to hear this.  |

Those are all beautiful. What you are calling Montana Moss I would consider a Prairie Agate but names are always subject to interpretation I believe. I prefer the simple wraps like on the first and last ones but all are nice.

Well I should get some ordered I likey it Evan, there's a couple videos on YouTube that show how to use this stuff. I will definitely recommend using it outside or in a garage... Those are all beautiful. What you are calling Montana Moss I would consider a Prairie Agate but names are always subject to interpretation I believe. I prefer the simple wraps like on the first and last ones but all are nice. Thanks Diane! Well, if it IS a Prairie Agate, I'd love to find more with moss in it like that. I never have. It was a small slab that came labeled as Montana Moss. |
