Glorious 2 Days Off.
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 4th Apr 2016
I'm off for another 2 days. Looking forward to cutting the new Charoite and Eudialyte material I picked up this morning. We will see what turns out of these materials. I do really appreciate when the importers want spheres out of their material.
Working on a few new Bumble Bee Jasper Spheres. One will have the flames through it. Two are of the plume variety. Equally beautiful but more understated than the flame.
Will go back to cutting another Red Lightening Agate cube today. Such a bugger of a material. The saws hate it because it is so hard. As a matter of fact, the sphere machines aren't too fond of it either. The first one did turn out amazing tho.
If I get a chance I will start some Sonora Dendritic Rhyolite too. Have never worked this material so we will have all the initial challenges of working a new one. This material I got over a year ago already, so it is time to hit the saws.
Can't wait to retire and have more time!
Thanks for reading......
