Outrageous Cab Contest - December 2014- January 2015
« on: December 03, 2014, 06:52:55 AM »

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.)

So have some fun!     :hello: :headbang:

Hahahaha!! no, the Mascalero is a one shot deal, I have more of it and no two cabs are the same... Promise to bring something special and rare... at least I think it is and if I can work it. Haven't tried the material before... there isn't much I HAVE tried either though LOL!   :headbang:

BTW, why wait for me to post, you can go first if you like, I already have mine planned, if it holds together... if not, I have a backup too  :toothy10:

Ok I'll go first. Nephi Palm,  I almost forgot to take a pic of the preform, the C on there is my wife's first initial this means don't give away or your dead! I took a pic of both sides finished, one looks like the rear of the storm the other has lighting strikes, I think it's a cloud lighting bugs!

Wow! that is stunningly gorgeous!  :headbang: Beautiful job Sandsave! LOL! I know another fella on FB that if he goes to the wife with his recent makes, she just goes, "that one and that one and that one" and they are claimed before they are off the dop sticks.  I have my special ones... first cab I ever made and first cab I ever made that I was wowed by the material... which is still unknown/unable to be found again.

I have new wheels just arrived yesterday, need to take pics of the slabs and I will get er done! Have one I want to do and a backup because I am not familiar with the material, just in case it doesn't go as planned  :icon_thumright:

I'm just a noob, but I'll post my rainforest jasper drop cab I'm going to be working on over the weekend if it turns out.  Glad I read this, now I'll know to take pictures of the slab and preforms as I go.
