Just a little something I worked on in my tt live last night, after taking this snippet, I noticed an area needing more work & ended up going back in and fixing it. Can't wait until skylight can do lives! 🖤🐸
From rough to cabochon.
Natural Chanthaburi Sapphire.
7.3 carats rough, 2.9 carats cabbed.
What do you think?

Day 2: Cabochons
Turning rocks into jewelry pieces is so satisfying. #rockhound #lapidaryart #jewelrymaking #rockgeek
The photo is of a tray of rough pieces of brilliant blue and green turquoise being ready to be made into cabochons.
I believe that I’ve hoarded this turquoise long enough. Today’s the day! 🩵🩵🩵

The photo is of a box stuffed with tubes of seed beads of many different colors. Some nearly as small as dust. Some would call it a hoard.
The photo is of a pair of earrings being held in my hand Fringe style earrings with the blue seed beads, and silver nugget cube beads.
Still on a seed bead kick. A nice diversion from metal and stones. Back to the bench soon. #ArtYear

Before & after:

Just finished up a couple more pieces of Montana Agate.
I love the transparancy & the colors in this agate. Plus it gets a super shiny, glass-like polish.

#Beige is a tough one for a color lover like me. I don’t even like the word, lol but I do love texture. Fossil coral cab cut last year.

Pictured are two vintage steel fence spikes about 6-7 inches long against a steel background. One is rusty and the other has been twisted and shaped into a scribe for marking sheet metal. It is sharp and pointy with a black patina. Also good for killing zombies.
A pointy steel scribe freshly made from an old fence spike in my very dirty hand.
4 scribes with a twisted surface and very pointy ends sitting atop my anvil.
