I finally got around to cutting and polishing a few crosses. It has been over a year since I cut or polished any rock and well over two since I tried wire wrapping. Thankfully these are simple wraps. The bigger cross is for my sister and came from a piece of Flint that I picked up in her backyard (Austin, TX) over Christmas.

I miss you all here at RTH, but alas my time is not my own. Sorry for my lack of support.

Thanks Roy! Paul! Tanya and Gary!- I use to have one that said "The best thing you can do for your kids is love their mom as much as your rocks" LOL I always liked that one too.
I plan to wrap a lot of these crosses for Easter gifts and just wanted a simple clean way to accent them and make a bail.
Plus I am a lousy wrapper!!!! ;D

It shows off the natural beauty of the stone. Also, there's no need to apologize for the lack of support. Just stop by when you can. It's nice to hear from you again. Nate
