Pics at last


I know it's been awhile since I made the first entry, so here's the scoop...
I am a really bad photographer.  It is sheer luck that anything I shoot is usable.  So I decided to outsource and have a friend, Nancy Damron, take some pictures for me.  I love Nancy; she's great to work with and has some really wonderful ideas for taking pictures.  Her first love with the camera is nature and wildlife, so I was pleased that her first thought was to highlight the natural qualities of the stones in the pieces I sent her.  
Today's piece is a pendant of red jasper with sterling silver.  My dad cut the stone for me from something in his vast collection of rough, then it sat on my workbench for months before I came up with a plan to really show it off.  I have to brag a little because I am pleased with the way it came out, but it is now in a very lucky lady's private collection
