Title: Outrageous Cab Contest! Jan-Feb 2016
Post by: Phishisgroovin on January 02, 2016, 07:28:38 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.  After all, this is the OUTRAGEOUS cab contest!  We love free form cabs!  Pull out the stops and give us 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.
7) Cab sets are OK.
8) This is only for bragging rights and your cabochon photo posted up top in the forums unless someone posts a lapidary related prize and wants to ship it to the winner of the contest.
Let the games begin!!!   :toothy10:

Just getting in. Nice fire agate! Here is piece of banded onyx from Utah. Usually I cut these with the bands to show the crazy pattern, this one I cabbed parallel with the bands. It turned out quite nice.  :angel9:

Nice material you got there Sandsave.

Colours are quite refreshing and workmanship is on par with the best that this material allows.  :occasion14:
