ewwwwww, thanks @Bruce i'm sure i'll enjoy that bear roast now.
I forgot to show youall what i'm doing this summer to keep myself off the streets and out of trouble. I am an apprentice learning to cut, shape and shine semiprecious stones. str#1 is a self taught lapidary/silversmith and she is teaching me how to
make jewelry and i'm really enjoying it. it is amazing to me the beauty you can find in a plain old rock. there is no coating or finish on them, they are just polished. enlarge the picture to see the detail on them.
@Mike CHS, now i'm just showing out. I did the polishing of the stones and str#1 did the silver work. maybe someday i'll be able to do the silversmithing too. she not only makes the settings but the chains as well. she's a very talented lady. here again enlarge the picture to show the detail.
