Cutting Turquoise

This piece of turquoise is almost finished. I’ve got one last “wheel” before I polish it. This week has kept me a bit busy but I’m hoping to finish this sweet stone in the next couple of days. It’s got both greens and blues with little bits of brownish matrix. I seriously love cutting turquoise. At this point in the process I still haven’t decided if this will be a ring or a necklace. There’s still time for that. I’ll have to check my records to see if I was given the mine where this came from. All I can say right now is it’s from the US.

Sea Turtle. Azoho style.

I have to admit that I’m very proud of this piece. I have a dear friend who loves sea turtles. And I love turquoise. This is one of the prettiest stones that I have ever cut. I do have a show next month so I think I may make a similar piece to offer.

Bench Pic

I snap pictures all of the time on my phone while I’m working. They get uploaded to instagram and facebook. I never considered putting them up on my site because the photos aren’t good enough. But it is what it is and it’s a part of my life. Besides someone might enjoy process shots of my work. And as I’ve aged I’ve accepted that perfection isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Life just isn’t perfect. Enjoying life is so much more important. Anyway- here’s a bench shot of some rings that I’ve made in the last couple of weeks. The stones were cut by me. And my fave is the dino bone.
