Just a little that is. Time has not been a friend, but I have been able to get a few things done. I cabbed a couple of Malachite cabs and although it was messy, I really like this stuff. Its pretty soft material and it takes a good shine. I cabbed a Morgan HIll poppy jasper and dino bone cab but the pictures, didn’t turn out so well. I also wrapped a couple of pendants. A dino bone and a turquoise pendant.

This weekend was a great cabbing and smithing weekend. I’m thinking on making a couple of pieces for the contest so that I can hopefully pick the best to enter. I have started the 1st one and have been cabbing so I can start the 2nd. I’m really liking how this one is turning out so far. I’m not sure if posting pics is ok as far as the contest goes, so I’m gonna post the sketch and the pics of the cabs. The sketch is a rough one, just fyi. 🙂 In this piece I’m using the Berendo agate cab from the last post. The only wire was a wrap I finished for a friend. Made out of turquoise, coral and a sapphire.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you had a great weekend!
