Showed this one a while back but I got it in the mail today from my good friend Walt. And yes, he made it.

Crazy Lace, Goldstone, Turkish Rainforest Opal.

An absolutely beautiful piece of art.

The picture doesn't do it justice.

Walt, this is gorgeous! Those seams look perfect. It takes a lot of patience and skill to get corners like that.

miket you are a lucky duck!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Yep, he's a good friend.
Sadly, still in a box.
