A few months ago, a lady in a beautiful part of Pennsylvania saw one of my finished cabs on line and asked to buy it. I sold her the piece and asked if she would send a picture when it was completed...and she sent TWO!
The stone was the one in the middle of these three- a stunning example of Mexican Crazy Lace Jasper!
So the artist- Gina Halteman- Formica- took the stone and made it look even better by creating an amazing, unique setting. (Sorry for the picture quality but it is hard to photograph silver.)
And I absolutely love her connector- a hand fashioned sliding bail that attaches to the back of the setting so the stone seems to "float".
I really enjoy her work because, like me, she makes a lot of her own findings and connectors and she does a lot with upcycled copper. You really should check out her work at lovegwireworks.com
I'm back on the CabKing and here are some recent pieces- part of my 100 Cabochon project. This diverse grouping of agate and jasper are all local! What amazing material I have to work with!
And just a reminder, if you are travelling near Digby NS, we are now open most days.
Cheers!
