Soooooo, one of my friends lucked into some slabs of Chrysocolla at a thrift store for cheap and got them cabbed and they turned out sooo beautifully! I was drooling over the pictures of them when they said they'd like to send me some to wrap to see what I came up with !!! Sooo this girl got to wrap two gorgeous pieces, sent back one and was allowed to keep the second as payment for my wrapping skillz  And these cabs are a lot bigger than I'm used to wrapping too, the first was like 1.5" wide by 2.5" tall and the second is at least 2" wide by 2.5" tall (guesstimations) Here's the one I sent back as payment:  And here's the one I got to keep!!! YEY!!!:  What do you guys think?? Krista |

I really like both--but I particularly like the way you handled the shape of "Soothing." Great job!

Super wrap. Not over done and the stone is still the focal point.

BTW I would send five cabs if you sent back one. I like your not overly fluffy style.

Ha haa, that's awesome Jim. Do you have a website I can look at what cabs you have? One of the reasons I was so excited about the chrysocolla is because I have almost no access to it except online and I _hate_ buying online, I like to see things in person unless I'm buying from people I know won't cheat me But I am willing to wrap a cab in trade for other cabs, just depending what they are.

Krista. I do not have a web sight. I only sell locally and in Cook City by the entrance to Yellowstone Park. I have not been working on stone all winter because there is gold in them thar hills so finished cabs that have not been made into jewelry are few and far between here. I have a batch in the tumbler that will be out in two weeks and a few that I have finished by hand. What stones do you like? Or, what color do you like? I have every color in the rainbow and then some. I just slabbed some white, pink and red agate that is awesome. My black lace and yellow lace is pretty sweet. I posted a pic of a two color green Wyoming nephrite that a lot of people here liked. That is the one that I would like to have wrapped for me but I will make more for you if it is something that you like. The possibilities are almost endless. I just got set up to take quality photos of my agates and jaspers for the Am AgtJasp Project and will be posting them in the near future and you can have the pick of the litter. I will be in touch when I get more things done around here. Jim |

Those are both beautiful. I like the second one best though because it's more free flowing.

And these cabs are a lot bigger than I'm used to wrapping too, the first was like 1.5" wide by 2.5" tall and the second is at least 2" wide by 2.5" tall (guesstimations)
