The layout and planning is more time consuming with these pieces but the results are worth it. I can't wait to get some photos done and share.

Stash
I like rocks. It probably goes back to going rock hounding with my folks. Dad cut and polished stones. Boy I wish he were still alive. We could really collaborate on some jewelry. But the next best thing is going to the gem and mineral shows and spending time with folks of like mind. I always come home with so many cabochons. And my sketchbooks are littered with ideas so I decided to spend some time in this area for awhile. Oh what fun. I have quite a stash of stones collected so sometimes I design around a stone and sometimes I select a stone for a particular design. I just love having options!

I did not know that your Dad cut and polished stones. No wonder you have this passion. It would be nice to have parents and Grandparents around that shared our passions. We could learn so much and must take the time to learn from those who are alive now.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with you designs and things that you make. Continue creating as that is what your passion is and what you are so good at.
