Second place is 30.00 cash, certificate of choice (Rio etc..) or from my store. Also 1/3 of Bobs Montana Agate slabs. Third place is 15.00 cash, certificate of choice (Rio etc..) or from my store.

I just placed an order with Rio yesterday for a few things. Have picked out the mineral am going to use, and have changed my mind 100 times on what I am going to make ! Finally settled into a sketch I did last night.. Think I got it now ! |

Howdy......Got started on my entry yesterday. George I am sorry about Montana slab pics. I will post them here later today. Strange but I don't think my entry is going to fit my drawing. I am always worried about how I am going to hang a piece when it is done. So I started with the neck-piece first and the pendant is evolving to fit. Sort of working backwards toward the concept. Guess we'll see how close I come when it is finished............Bob

George, I know there are a lot of us very excited to see the entries! I am already expecting so great motivation from them.
I was wondering if any of the entrants would mind if they took the time to photograph the work as it progresses. I know I would be interested. Perhaps a separate thread so the finished ones can stand alone together. Just a thought...

Yes, that is a part of each entry. We will all be taking some progressive pics throughout .. George, I know there are a lot of us very excited to see the entries! I am already expecting so great motivation from them.

Thanks, George, I guess I should have paid a little better attention to the contest!!!! Bob, I would go with the lapis for two reasons. First would be the color difference, a wonderful contrast. Second would be lapis is not transparent like the other stone and again creates a contrast. Just my thoughts... Gary |

Hi Bobby:
I would go with the carnelian - the colour is gorgeous and it compliments your main stone really nicely.
