Hi everyone. I am still around, just been very busy lately.

I had a booth in my rock clubs annual gem and mineral show this past weekend. It was a very good show this year. I took in $700.00, and I got to meet Gr. It is always nice to meet fellow RTH'rs.

I missed seeing Mary anne and Ralph. they were not there this year.

Anyway, I got a special commission piece while I was there. The same people from Michigan who commissioned me to make a stone pendant which looked like 2 feathers, asked me to do another one this year. Their deceased, adopted son was of native american descent and his tribal name was Two feathers.

Here is the one I made for them last year.

and the earrings to go with it.

This is the one I made today.

These are both sagenite. The second one was a bear to make as it went flying and broke the top stems and one feather tip off. So it is redone a bit smaller now.

The customers loved it anyway. They also want me to make a pair of earrings to go with this one. for their daughter for Christmas. Does anyone out there have a slab of blue sagenite you can part with?

Simple carving can increase the visual effect much more than most people realize and does neither take a long time nor an expert to do. Well done, lets see more of it!

I would love to try a fire agate feather. I don't have any fire agate. and have never worked with it before. But am willing to try.

I probably should have mentioned that I did not use a dremel on these. All the carving is done with my saw blade and the edge of my 220 wheel. I have made a leaf this way also. I should make more.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
