I thought, that since the board got me started in cabbing, and has encouraged me to continue with the wrapping and all that, you guys should be the first to see what I did today for the first time..... I was sitting here this morning having my coffee, trying to think of something new I could do.....something different, ya know? As I sat here, I started to stare aat the ceiling......the fan to be exact.....and there it was.....looked all over the net...cant find these, done with lakers, anywhere, so forgive me if I have missed something...BUT...... Candy striper, Paint agate, and a candy striper...all self collected done by hand....no dopping....  Each row shows the different sides to these...yes they are cylindrical.....not flat sided. All they need now is a bail of some sort to attach a chain to for a fan pull....or a pendant....or a talisman...or a suncatcher...or.,............................................ Thanks for lookin'!!! Marie |

Wonderful idea!!! Now you just need to drill a hole through them for a chain to go through.......................Not! That would take forever!!!! Must be another way to do it though!
Love the idea & they are quite beautiful!

Marie, you could drill a hole in them using the Dremel and some little bitty diamond drill bits you can find on eBay - I know, because that's what I've done. It's easier if you have the Dremel thingy that makes it a drill press, of course .... just a thought.  Tom PS - I like your idea. Makes me think - I have a bowl full of sodalite tumbles and another bowl full of amethyst tumbles that could be coerced into something like that ... thanks for the idea! |

remember if you try and drill them to either submerse them or drip water on the bit.

Thanks everyone!! I think they are just too cool! Probably because of 2 things....1st...those stone turned out waaaay more than I expected the to....I just pulled a couple of lakers outta the box, and started grinding on them...no cutting lol.....and 2nd....they actually turned out! lololol
After making these yesterday, it opened a new door too.....I am going to attempt to make something today with my un cut Lakers......If it turns out, I'll post it! lol
too fun!!
thanks again!!
