Artist Cut Stone & Cool Stuff for Makers
This sweet little sea turtle was a custom order for a nice lady who loves turtles. I was able to send her a pic of some finished stones so that she could choose her favorite.
Hand drawn and cut from sterling silver. The stone is turquoise in a lovely shade of blue.
Here’s what I know about me- I make more than I list. I get a little bogged down at the taking a photo and getting it online part of my world. I am making an effort. I promise. So here’s a pic of a lovely necklace that isn’t listed yet. But will be soon. Probably. If you’re interested you are welcome to message me. It seems to be faster that way. lol.
For a long time now I’ve wanted to work with this rough. This is paint over spray from the old car factories. They used to move the cars through on rails, paint ’em and bake ’em. This is the build up from the rails. Which means it can be an odd shape. As you work them layers are revealed. Some of the paints are metallic. Although the name was coined using a certain manufacturer- this rough is available from many different manufacturers.
This material is also known as Detroit Motor Agate.
I’m looking forward to working this material. I have this piece and one other.
