Title: Of quartz and serpentine
Post by: Asianfire on March 19, 2017, 07:50:22 AM

I keep busy with my cabin project, but bad weather makes slow go of everything.

So for now, its back to do some stones. Just about to finish up my Tasmanian Serpentine with a little Stichite

And a project that gives me fits.......

I'm bad and sloppy with insets, yet here I need 4 of them. If this works out, I'm sure to get a piece that will become a regular feature around my neck.

Thanks for looking, Kurt

Practice makes perfect if you are stubborn enough. You are trying ne things which is crucial for growth. Careful with the heat and humidity with your cabin project. I just spent two weeks where it was over 100 F almost every day  and it can be stressful and with the humidity dangerous  as you don't cool well.
