Those all look great. The one time I tried Tiger Eye wasn't so good. I think I've learned a little since then, starting with getting good rough. That stuff looks super.

Thanks for the pics, St. Ed. Maybe next year we can get down there in time to see this show.

Nice looking garden, Paul. Different fruits in your area than ours, that's for sure. Good to see you got the boys out doing some fun stuff, too. Palm Desert, eh? We'll be in that general area in a couple of weeks.

Love it, coveting my neighbors' rotating lap. That'll kick up the productivity.

Thanks for the pictures, looks like a fun trip. Good luck panning the dirt out, people always looked at me weird when I said I was going out to wash dirt. Well, people usually look at me weird anyways so I never let it bother me.
The tracks are a canid, probably a wolf. Could have come up from Mexico or from somewhere else. There are a lot more wolves out there than the "officials" tell about. Also, some of the wolf lovers have been breeding hybrids and turning them loose, although from what I hear that has been more common in the North West.

A friend in the local rock club has been making lampshades with thin cut midnight lace obsidian. He takes the slabs to 1000 grit in a lot-o vibe then only polishes the outside. The satin polish on the inside works like a frosted light bulb and makes the entire shade glow. Thanks, that's interesting. Obviously, I can use all the helpful tips I can get. Russ

It's rock slabbed a little thin, polished on both sides and then assembled like you would with stained glass. Fun little learning curve.

I'd been wanting to try this for a long while and with the arrival of cold and snow I was pretty much forced inside. Decided it was time to go ahead and try this. It would probably go better to start with something simple and flat first, but where is the fun in that. I'm sure it would also go better to actually kind of have a plan instead of just throwing stuff at it - which is what I did. For a first attempt I guess it's not too bad. Thanks for looking. Russ

Stunning. You obviously have a longer attention span than I do. Kudos on all that work.

Glad you are back at it. I like that last one. self collected? Chuck Thanks, Chuck. Yes, all of them were self collected. I had to start doing something with the rocks to justify bringing more home. The real fun is going out collecting. Russ

That's some interesting stuff there, John. Nice cabs for sure, and it looks as though your getting the "feel" for the clay.
Rob, your daughter has some serious skills there. I'd almost get my ears pierced just to wear the cheeseburger earrings. Almost.

What they have all said. Really nice chunk of bone and super job of shaping and wrapping.
