I didn't see the stars last year so I'm glad you included some pics of those too.

No doubt whoever you give those to will appreciate them. The ones Elizabeth made are cool too - I like the way she dressed them up a little.

Regarding backing, for your ornaments that need backing, how about gold plated copper? You always wanted to have your own electroplating setup, right?

Finally finished these up this evening...and not a moment too soon! Christmas is right around the corner...nothin like finishing gifts up at the last minute. All but a couple survived the tumbling stages...so i had just enough for Family and a few Friends. They turned out better than I thought....so I'm quite happy. The whole Choir of Angels.

A few backlit Brazilian Angels...

And a Snake River Agate from Tony (catmandewe)

I also finished a fish bowl for one of my wife's friends daughters. Everytime they come over they love playing in my tumbled rock table...so i figured they would like a Fish Bowl.

Thanks for looking....and Merry Christmas.
Steve

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)
