Bezel Cups & Stone Shots

Just thought i'd post a few pics from Sunday 
b4 a phone call 
rained on the rest of my evening.


Even though i'm not crazy about working with small stones
This 7mm bezel cup, is as small as i will go.
for now.
 

A smiley face appeared inside when pulled from the pickle.  
I found that to be a lit-tle strange.



I found 
 that a pencil eraser
works well
for wrapping a 7mm bezel.
:)


A few of my 
favorite stones
below.


This one reminds me of the snow covered 
Vermont mountains.
 

 This turquoise is a beautiful blend of
blues & greens
~It's gorgeous~
 

This Moss Agate below is 
SO
beautiful.
It takes my breath away.

It's one that needs to be seen in person
to appreciate the gor-jus-nus.
 


Below is an etsy find.

Once I saw the 
"Woman on the Edge"
 I had to have this stone!
I love love love this one as well.


 How freak-in cool is that ?
She looks like she's
d~a~n~c~i~n~g
on the 
*edge*
in her 
Saturday Nite 
"party dress".
Her hair is not as high as it looks 
in this photo.
Although, she is sporting quite 
the doo'!

I named
"the  unknown / un-fabricated piece"
b4 the stone left it's etsy shop!
I find it amazing...
it's just
so
vivid!

I don't make small bezels either, but that a great tip about the eraser.

I love all of your new stones...the colors are scrumptious. "Woman on the Edge" is sooo cool. I bought a Montana Agate that has a sailboat in it. I'l be waiting impatiently to see what you do with these.

Love the smiley face in the pickle residue :) It's just saying "ha! little bezels are so tedious."
Beautiful stones you have there also.

What a great tip about the eraser - I hate wrapping those little stones. The stones are gorgeous - I especially like the turquoise.
