I wasn't active much lately on the board, so I want to redeem myself with many pics of my recent work - cabs and silver plus my first faceted stone. And to keep paraphrasing Reo Speedwagon – Please don't hate me for what I'm about to do – Maaaany pictures. I tried to compress the numerous pictures as much as I could. ;D Labradorite/Lapis pendant Labradorite ring Moonstone/Chrysoprase pendant Crazy Lace Agate Mookaite Ruby Landscape Jasper made out of slab KD sent me. Thanks KD. Montana Agate - thanks to Robert (rockds) Ocean Jasper Labradorite Hungarian Matra Mt Agate Butterfly from Fruska Gora Mt Agate And finally my first faceted stone. Doc please don't laugh. I didn't have transfer jig. ;D Citrine It is funny that I used an old gramophone single record for polishing stage. And know what - it worked. Thanks for looking. Zoran

I was just jumping in quickly as a "guest" to check what's up, but I had to log in so I could respond to your post, Zoran!
I'm fortunate to have fast internet so I have been drooling over all of your photos! I think the Mook and Montana are my favorites, but all of them are so beautiful!
Glad you are safe. Thanks for making the World a more beautiful place.

Great looking creations Zoran. Hard to even choose but if I had to pick a couple of favorites, I'd choose the Matra mtns and the Mook which are both spectacular......Mel

I have high praise for each one of your works. You have a genuine "feel" for color, shape and metal proportions. Bravo

Zoran, you didn't lose time lately! Amazing work! You are able to work in so many styles! The landscape jasper and the Matra Mt are amazing. And by faceting, you stepped on a new level. The highest one! WTG!

I have to complete my first post here, by noticing a small, but so elegant detail: the bail of the OJ pendant is a small copy of the cab itself! Beautiful!

Thank you all, very much. Adrian, you have good eye for details. I really tried silverwork to follow and emphasize the cab's shape and the bail in the cab's shape was the logical extension of that idea. KD, that butterfly is made mostly on my cabbing machine but some parts I had to do with flex shaft. And, yes, I am already selling my jewelery, otherwise I couldn't buy all the things I need to play with. ;D That is also the way to partly finance my thesis and field trips. Thank you. Zoran
