Stones for Atticktreasures

Don't know what went wrong with the last post no pictures came through so I am trying again.

The Cabochons are coimg to Atticktreasures

Oh I am so excited to be cabbing again, I have purchased some really great rough rock to cab to make some really cool cabs. Life it seems has to decided to connect me with all the widows of past cabbers to buy their treasures once again, I lucked up and got some really neat stuff in a box from a sweet lady who really didn't quite know what to do with her husbands stuff so I helped her sort through it and identify some of it and she allowed me to get first hand choice of it. He had a slab unfortunately only this one of ocean picture jasper it was so old the tape with its name had turned yellow, it came from British Columbia enclosed is a picture of it. The colors are wonderful and all I could think of was a perfect name for it because it does look like the ocean.I couldn't wait to do the first cab as you can see, I also purchased some pilabaro jasper which comes from Australia, the graphics are so bold on this stone very interesting and the colors are a mixture of bright oranges and golds and reds although some of the colors were somewhat muted so i cut that part off it didn't interest me. Here are some of the pictures you can see, these stones will be on the attticktreasures.etsy.com tonite to purchase plus some other ones. If it's okay with everyone I would like to ask you to please comment back and let me know how you feel about the stones, what size cabs you like , colors and that sort of thing, I know with the price of silver getting so much higher these days it has certainly made me downsize my jewelry somewhat but how about you let me know what you think please.

Grand Opening of AttickTreasures.Etsy.com

Well it's up and running hurray! I have finally gotten a site so everyone can get some cabochons for making jewelry. In Atlanta I opened shop in a wonderful jewelry supply shop with wonderful tools Just For Fun if you are ever there go check it out. Anyway I was there every Saturday to sell my cabochons and fossils well since I moved to Florida my old customers couldn't get my stones so I opened an additional site on etsy for them. The store is called AttickTreasures because I seem to be destined to purchase rock from collectors wives, seems like someone is always calling me to buy a loved ones treasures so thats why its called that. I must admit I love cabbing as much as silversmithing so I am enjoyed doing the stones again.
DAISY UPDATE; On Thursday Daisy will go to have her stitches removed it's been a long wait trust me I made her a new bone toy out of canvas cloth and then later I bought her a Easter toy , Then I decorated her surgery collar so it would be cutier sending you a picture, here it is.

Life going back to normal

Well Daisy and I are getting use to her staying in the kennel, neither are to happy about it but I can't keep her from jumping running and all the other stuff she is not suppose to do we just have to do mini walks with a short leash. To say the least she is not happy and letting her feelings out loud and clear. Well I finally got some cabbing down, made some cabs lastnite they range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches, they include rainforest jasper, bogwood, carnelian, noreena jasper, chrysocolla shamans stones, dalmation jasper, and fire agate. They will post on etsysite nancycreations.etsy.com today between $10 and $18 see if there might be anything you need.

Daisy Update

Thank goodness Daisy is home finally, whew was I scared and lost without her, this lil stinker has become very special to me. Well they gave me the pins they removed along with a feww pieces of wood she also ate, I think I will make a collage of the pins as wall art since it cost me a small fortune to get her well although she is priceless to me. Here are some new pics of her with her new accesory the e-collar which she wears for the next 10 days, oh boy is that going to be fun. No running no jumping no chasing the cats inside lots of kennel time for Daisy I think.

Still working on the ring

Well you know how you design a piece and then somewhere it starts to take on a life of its own and you are no longer sticking to the original design umm that's starting to happen here folks, when i took classes my good friend amy rowe and i always laughed about how this would happen to us, and bless her heart HB our teacher would just look at us with that certain look like she knew here we go again.haha! Now the ring has decided it wants some wire on it and it still can't decide on the protection ring for the stone exactly how that is to look oh it will have the prongs but it thinks it wants a little extra something who knows what at this point. here's the latest pic of how things are proceeding.

DAISY UPDATE: Yesterday my precious Daisy puppy swallowed 14 sewing pins , the cats helped her out by getting my pin cushion off the sewing table, she has had to have surgery on her stomach to remove them , three are still in her they were unable to remove them couldnt find them except on the xray, they are mixed up in her food in her tummy so hopefully she will pass them okay , will keep you updated , I saw her today she is fine and happy so heres hoping all will be okay.
