hi everyone.....first off i would like to thank mary ann (from facebook at cabochons) for sending me to tony (from tonys idaho rock shop)and then tony sending me to this forum....i've been looking around for a few days and am in hog heaven reading all you tips and instructions....the pictures are also inspiring. i live in southeast ohio and have no one and no where to go for help......most of what i have done has been trial and error (leaning on the side of error) i have been a crafter for many years but i have only been shaping and tumbling rock for about a year now....it started out me buying cabs online to wrap for myself....and that was the begining of the end.i was hooked. i will post pics. when i am not quite so intimidated.... i am use to working on a quilt for a year before i see the finished project.....this is much quicker, you don't get tired of looking at the same old thing for weeks on end. thanks for any help you might have for me,Karon

Welcome aboard!!! This is by far the best site for info on this hobby. Took me from lonely person who picked up rocks when on long walks, to actually making money from jewelry I make from the stones I work. Add to it, some of THE NICEST people I've ever met on the internet.

Welcome, Karon. There is nothing you can't learn on this site if it has to do with lapidary. There are many experts, and when they don't know the answer, they know how to get it...

Welcome to the forum. Please don't feel intimidated, post away. I for one love to see other people's work. Wouldn't mind seeing some pics of your quilts too some day. (You could post those on the member's photos section.)
