Well I finally picked up some wire and did a couple...Wooo Hooo...I feel a little rusty These are the first ones of a long way to go... This is a green moss agate... This a lace agate... And here is a quart mason jar full of cabs waiting to be finished in the vibe....Kinda like Fossilman's pickled wood jar... Enjoy my friends....John
