Title: Got a few done!
Post by: DonniesTreasures on July 29, 2014, 04:41:01 pm
Took me about 3 days to do it but I got it done.  Decided to rough some in over a couple of days then the rest of it went pretty fast.

The agate from Idaho is by far my favorite of the bunch.  Kind of reminds me of a nebula scene!  yes16

I like the range of stones you used.  You seem to be like me -- favoring stones with lots of "stuff" going on.  None of this boring monochromatic tedium ; ).

Thanks again you all!  Hey Bullwinkle, you certainly have me pegged right!  I love stuff in my stones!

All very nice.  Thought I had replied to this one already but I guess not.  Love the turritella and dino bones.

I've cut several hundred turretella but never been lucky enough to get pattern like that.
