Usually the rocks themselves are my inspiration. They usually tell me how they want to be cut. But this morning it just wasn't happening.
Just about an hour after I had given up, my wonderful post lady arrived with my new Sonoran Dentridic! I took it to the saw immediately.
When I came upstairs, I had an email waiting for me. One of the incredibly talented artists I work with sent me photos of the new piece she made with my stones! This gorgeous necklace was made with a 3 piece set of porcelain jasper I had cut.
When I went back to look at my Sonoran Dentridic, the 3 piece set jumped right out at me! I can't wait to cab this set.
So even though my inspiration ussally comes from the rocks themselves, today I had a big bosst! To see more of Janna's work, visit her etsy shop at www.heartandwing.etsy.com

No wonder you keep creating such beautiful cabs...look at the rainbow of colors in the slabs!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!
I have seen some beautiful work done with your designer cabs.
Thank you so much for all if your hard word, talent, and energy!!
Wow, just amazing stones and the way you cut them is beautiful inspiration to the artists who use them too, very circular, I like that! Really need to stalk your shop more too :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you have everything out in a pile on the table. Sometimes you don't make connections unless it's all out there and this post shows just how those connections are made. Very neat! (And gorgeous stuff!)
ReplyDeleteYour stash is pretty incredible. I love the idea of having it all out on the table.
