As the weather finally improves and the smoke clears, more tourists are starting to appear and we've also seen people who come annually as they have summer homes here. I'm being kept busy making new pieces to replace sold items. Here's a real beauty combining a beautiful stone, unique hand fashioned copper setting and a show stopping Viking Knit Chain.
I have to say this is one of the most beautiful stones we have found on the neck. It positively glows!
Once again I have embarked on an ambitious project- finish 100 cabochons through the summer. Honestly, if I didn't have my Cab King with the trim saw attachment, I couldn't do it.
Believe it or not, one of the big problems I have is to be selective. Vickie has found me so much beautiful local rock! Here's a sampling.
This gorgeous piece has spectacular colour and patterning and will make a stunning pendant.
Another amazing piece with several different types of structure. It is photographed wet- hence the highlights.
This stunner has areas of moss agate on the bottom and a great pocket of fortification agate along with rich colour shifts.
And last but by no means least, we have this show stopping combination of plume agate in an amethyst matrix. And these are just a few of this summer's haul. So if your travels take you to Nova Scotia. Make sure to come to the most interesting part- Digby Neck- and stop by to say hello and see the shop.
Cheers.
