Very nice work. I really like your subdued wrapping style - it emphasizes the rock.

I love your bugs and all of your groove wraps. I also really like that swoopy agate (that's a word, isn't it -- swoopy?)!
Do some of your groove wraps have gold and silver wire twisted together? It's hard to tell from the pics.

Sas love the bugs, and I really like that agate with the tear drop shape?? That is a nice shape, all your cabs look good and you are a groove wrapping machine! Amber

I just love those bugs of yours. They are so cute. The wire design goes beautifully with each of your stones. My favorite besides the bug is that Prairie Agate.

Hey Sask, pretty soon you're going to need an exterminator! They are awesome, all they need now is little pairs of boots on their feet. Did you have any trouble with the Teuschenite? Went hunting with Pete yesterday and found a couple of pieces myself to try it out. You did great, as usual Dude. Jo

The Teuschenite is really tough to work. Little fractures appearing and grinds really hard. Tough to polish too. Beautiful stuff though. Pete asked me if I wanted some more, I told him I would get back too him. I think I need more practice or a lap without a wobble. Sounds hard to find and I destroyed the one piece he sent. Might be able to make a ring with what is left at best.

Very nice work, as usual. The twisted grooves sure set of the cabs nicely. T
