Outrageous Cab Contest: April - May 2015
« on: April 04, 2015, 03:33:18 PM »

Rules:
1) Cab must be made by you.
2) Cab must be made within the time period of this contest.  NO pulling old cabs from your storage baskets!
3) As long as the basic shape is considered a cab it's golden.  You can enter intarsias and carved top cabs such as cameos etc.  Afterall this is the OUTRAGEOUS cab contest!  We love freeform cabs!  Pull out the stops y'all and give me the best you have!
4) One entry per person please!
5) Please show photos of your slabs and preforms if you can so we can see your thought process and how you did things.
6) No finished jewelry pieces.  Just the cab(s).
7) Cab sets are OK. (think pendant and matching earrings.)

Let the games begin!!!   :toothy10:

Here we go! A multi colored Nephi,Utah Palm. I'm sure some are getting tired of hearing/ seeing about Nephi Palm and Wood, sorry but I'm not. Here is my entry. Would you keep the rock in the first pic? You would be glad you did! I'm posting both sides of the preform and finished sides. Please vote for your favorite side :LOLOL:

Here are the slabs for the winner of the Outrageous Cab Contest April & May. The first one is fractured but there are some good cabs to be had on both sides. The second is solid. Please don't let me win my own slabs!!!!!!!
Let's get this contest going!!!!!!
