Hello, everyone! I finished a set made from a Morrissonite slab that I have from Liz - 181lizzard. Here are the cabs, after I cut the groove on their edges: And here is the finished set, wrapped in silver: Thank you all for looking and special thanks to Liz for such a beautiful material. My girls love this set, both of them! BTW, how are you Liz? Haven't seen you lately here, I hope all's well for you. Please give me a sign if you see this Adrian

Those are truly beyond beautiful. Breathtaking is as close as a description I can get and be truthful.

Groove Master: Another fine set!!! Very beautiful set!
When you do earrings do you glue the stones back to back, cab each side and then unglue? Or do you cab each one individually? Just curious because they are so even!

Thank you everyone!
Amber, no I don't glue them, I just check them from time to time while grinding by putting them together.

That has to be the prettiest Morrisonite I have ever seen and just perfect for your groove settings. How will you to determine which of your girls gets this set?

Thanks again. Lori, I think they won't like to fight each other in chocolate for the set ;D, so they will wear it alternatively. They use to switch the jewels I make for them from time to time.

Adrian, Do you think that maybe you could have warned me to put on sunglasses before looking at the pics? I mean, my eyes are bad enough as it is and that shine damn near blinded me. If I cant cab anymore, it will be YOUR FAULT. Before I was blinded though, I could tell that you had created a truly breathtaking set. I really love the colors and patterns, and the shine...........my eyes still hurt. Shannon

Excellent set Adrian! I had ironic thing occur I think you could appreciate. Driving around I saw a sign which read: Now Open. Z Market. Deli & Sandwiches. So I walk in. There's not a soul in the place, but some woman fiddling around with her cell phone. I scan the shelves and the packages were of unique types of food. Feeling somewhat out of place & figuring the lady was the proprietor, I ask: what type of food does the store specializes in? She starts listing countries! “O foods from Turkey, Croatia, Hungary Bulgaria…” I interrupt her and say: “Romania?” “ No Romania,” she replies! Well in my head I’m thinking: Geez lady! its in the neighborhood! And wondering what I can say to her, I replied: “Sorry I bothered you. But I have real craving for some Romanian food. A big bowl of TOCHITURA & maybe a side of MAMALIGA.” Then I walked out the door. On a brighter note my friend sent me a post card from Timosoara. Once again excellent craft’n! Ed
