Thanks for the compliments on the pictures! I've gotten a little carried away lately.
KD, yeah, many of them are bubblegum agates. The collecting areas are just covered with bubblegum agates, prairie agate, pet wood, and if you are lucky, Fairburn agates!

"The Mistress Of the Hobby" Hmmm. Trying to think of an appropriate Halloween costume for this role.

YES Tami I agree, I am so loaded up with stuff that would look great wrapped, it is driving me crazy. It would be cool to have several on one piece, actually, I just sort of thought up a design. But I don't know how to wrap anything except meat to put in the freezer, etc.
