I still stink at cabbing and taking pictures, but here I go anyway. I did this one back at the start of the month, before my cab of the Craig Gulch Picture Jasper. I had a tough time with it as the material came off quickly and I always seemed to overcorrect. With jasoninsd 's helpful feedback on my previous cab, I intended to go back to it and fix a few things, but I wasn't able to at the workshop last night. Unfortunately I wasn't able to apply my learnings. (FYI Jason I did get to cab some obsidian last night and I did much better, thanks for your feedback!) While I have more of this beautiful stuff from Mark K , I probably shouldn't have touched it until I got some more experience under my belt, and didn't want to potentially mess up another preform, so those are staying in my "nice slabs, no touchy" box. BTW, what is this material called? Unfortunately the edit to the original post was done before I could label the box. *edit* I also conveniently forgot to take a picture of the preform, which is thankfully going to spare me additional embarrassment! 😆

It is material from Plomosa road. If you end up at Q at the same time as I do, you may get a lot more of it if you want to go. If the deposit is still there.

realrockhound - SICK! taylor - That pattern capture is top-notch!! To me it looks like a patch of beautiful cattails being captured in a photo! iamchris - You don't stink at making cabs! For the few that you've done, you're on the right track! You're working some seriously difficult materials on your first ones...they're soft material! It's easier to learn with harder materials (agate or jasper) because there's a lot of room for error...meaning small mistakes don't remove the same amount of material - like those same level of mistakes on a soft material (like obsidian!) would do.

:-( Bummed I didn't get to come out to play this month. It definitely wasn't for lack of interest in the theme! I have lots of purple stuff! Just not enough time! :-(
Great cabs everyone! Looking forward to voting!

This was a difficult contest for me to find material. I did receive some very nice burro creek material from Rockoonz, however I just don’t have the heart to cut any of it. So stashed that in my trophy box. Literally a month of digging through material for me until I remembered I had the material I submitted stashed deep away. Good cabs everyone and good luck. Let’s get it
