"S" is for soft and Shattuckite. Congratulations Patty on winning the contest with your beautiful Shattuckite cabochon. This contest was nothing even close to 'soft' and you chose the perfect material and created a real piece of art! |

Thank you Tommy for your kind words.
I love the challenges and that RTH has one every month.
It's helping me learn to be a better cab cutter.

Congrats on a runaway win. It is well deserved. I was holding my own, neck and neck til we hit about 5 votes THEN it turned into a runaway  Lee Rockoonz made it interesting at the end with his beautiful landscape stone. |

Actually Tommy the 2 of you had me worried to start out with with both of you having beautiful landscapes, & then Rockoonz came in with quite a flurry of votes at the end & I thought I was a goner. It was an excellent contest & I would have enjoyed it even if I hadn't won :-) Patty |

liveoak Patty, You created a cab that fit the theme perfect. The execution of this tough material show excellent skills. I love it. Now, the question is... What are your plans for it?

Actually, I plan to make a pendent out of it.
Not sure if wire wrapped or prongs in sheet metal.
But I think either would work great with copper, which is my choice of metal.
Currently working on my springtime leaf pendant. Unfortunately, not all the time I wish to work on things - but I get there eventually

My winning T-shirt design.
So I had to post my contest prize, Tommy said I could get a custom design, and so I did.
I found this graphic from an online tutorial on grinding cabs, and I thought it would be fun for the back of the shirt.
Of course, I had to have the RTH logo on the front, and it's nice as a small graphic on the side.
I really LOVE my new shirt & I really love these contests.
Keeps me motivated
Thanks again to Tommy and to everyone on RTH,
Patty

Another deserved win, liveoak! You had some really, really stiff competition, though. |
