Greetings!

I got a nudge to join this board recently...

Here are a few of the latest rocks I've been working on:

Set of Lapis


Crescent Moon in Nippomo


Maw Sit Sit


Set of Earrings in Pietersite


Another Maw Sit Sit


Rainforest Jasper Earrings


Dendritic Chryscocolla Earrings


Set of Sodalite


Cj Strike that Jason Medley Sent to me


Montana Agate



I hope this is a fun place, and thank you for stopping by to see what I've been up to...


Cheers!

Holy smack!  Jason those are beautiful!
I'm having a hard time picking a favorite though I'm very partial to Nipomo.  Plus the shape of the Nipomo is unique and I like that.
The semi-tear dropped shape Maw Sit Sit is pretty awesome too.  I love the electric green to it.   ;D

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the kind words, I truly do! It is nice to see all of the familiar names that are etched into my mind..  :) I've really been working on a bit of other stuff too, but this is about the last three weekends worth of work.. I admire all of your work, Ajo your cabs are mindblowing and still to this day I hope to on the same planet as you.. Lithic, you are an inspiration and I'm trying to do more beads that you have such amazing talent at.. Robin and Amanda too.. Thank you guys so much! I couldn't believe I was already accepted as the process on the other board took several weeks when I joined.. I was so pumped, and thought I would share with everyone.. I hope to share when I can.. Cheers!

Oh my goodness....that crescent moon Nippomo!!!!!!  I am in love with that one.  You wore gloves right?  Last time I attempted that stuff, not only was my shop black forever but so were my cuticles, lol!  MESSY but so worth it and you are amazing with the results you got!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Bentiron/ Gergis and especially TNTMOM! It is so good to see all the familiar faces from the days of old :)

Krystee I did wear gloves, and in fact I did a couple of these.. This is right up there with Shattukite for my most dreaded material to cut.. But in the end it is very nice!



I just got through a chunk of material that I've been sitting on for a while.. Had it lined up to go to someone, but they backed out.. So I cut it anyways:


Twenty nine cabs in a weekend>> I think those Turquoise cutters have something :)

Here's Some Blue Boy variscite:





and a couple others:



Not really a fan, but they are interesting  :dontknow:

I really would like to join in the cab comp.. To start this new beginning off right.. Would there be any others out there willing to join in? I know there's a lot of talent out there, and schedules are super busy, but I'm willing to try, anyone else??
