Hell yeah!! ;D Some of the wraps in the pics look a bit twisted and bent, but they really do look much worse in person. lol.... not really, but my ability to take a decent picture leaves little to be desired

Anyhow, more of what I've been doing lately.......

Regurgitated turquoise, I'm really liking this stuff......

Sodalite.....

Bronzite (I think) from the local rock shop rock pile, this stuff looks sweet in person.......

Bruneau jasper (slab from Fran), Rosetta lace (slab from "dbrealityrocks", and an unknown (from either Fran or db, I've received so many gifts from the worlds most generous people (sincerely) that I sometimes get mixed up) ........

Cobra-tiger jasper fishy, this was my experiment in an attempt to come up with something different to teach at my classes. I don't think I'll be teaching this one

Dino bone from naturenut, I really love this stuff!! ....

Goldstone, lately I've become a big fan of man-made materials......

Mojave turquoise, another awesome man-made stone....

Green zebra agate (from either Brazil or India, can't remember) ......

Some sort of really cool moss agate.....

The same moss agate with an unknown, and a kio jasper from Africa.....

Owyhee jasper, leopardskin jasper, and African blue swirlstone.....

How did I do? ;D

Gee Randy you must be slipping, only 36? LOL, seriously you are a wrapping maniac. Those are all great, even the fishy. That bronzite is gorgeous and the others are beautiful too. I've never heard of some of those rocks so thanks for showing them off so well with your wraps.
I don't see anything wrong with your pictures, they look way better than the ones I take.

Well, ok.... she has agreed to visit me once in a while (when she's on this side of the country), and I get visitation with Angie. That's a good deal I think. Damn right!
