Yippee!

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 8th Oct 2016

I finished the first of 3 Bumble Bee spheres that I have cut out the new material.  It is absolutely stunning!  The colors are so vibrant it just doesn't seem like it can be real.  Yes, it still has pits, but many are filled with quartz.  

Today I hope to finish a large Mexican Crazy Lace sphere that I had started who knows when.  There is also a Don'tknowite that is ready to go on the high speed machine.  I am still trying to get the Fantasy Jasper round.  For as hard as this material is, I don't know why the previous one shattered when it hit the garage floor.  I am also rounding a large Bumble Bee that I hope will be 4" in diameter.  

The corners are coming off the Indian Blanket cube.  I am still cutting the chrysocolla boulder I got in Joshua Tree.  I should say still looking for chrysocolla inside the rock.  It would have made a great yard rock, but no spheres.  The dealer I bought it from has not responded to my message.  I guess I'll have to eat the cost but won't buy from him again.

Still down a saw.  Maybe I can bribe Alan to take a look at it.  Hmmmm.  May have to bake cookies.

Thanks for reading......
