Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving......Soooo what's new in Scott's Rock Shop to finish out the month of November?? Well alot so brace yourself lol

Made some matching earrings for mom's necklace and gave her the gift...i took off the Hematite Dolphin Pendant and added a dolphin that i got mom in Wisconsin (will post a pic when mom sends me one...lol)



I got my string of lights put in and also got the Kingsley North package so i can display the Sun Catchers and i also displayed other rocks (still work in progress.....need more miniature easels because as you can see i have more slabs to display (on bottom self)) ...There's the Mallard Duck (2nd pic...bottom self and to the right) that was also posted in this thread http://www.coloradoprospector.com/forums/i...t=0&start=0 Mar 11 2007, 06:10 PM.



Here's the rest of the Kingsley North package....Portable Folding Flip Lamp....Extra Tumbler Barrel and Stainless Steel Shot for jewelry and coins (will try it with coins and see what happens ) and a Inland Dopstation.



I went to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving Day....Took pics of some cool rocks that came from Spear's Rock Shop (Front and back of what's called "A Donkey" and "A Lady"...lol...do you see it??) and sold some more jewelry...Big Agate Necklace and Rose Quartz Heart Earrings



Took a pic of rock cleaning station for the tumbler....On grit #3 right now....will post a pic when finished



And finally i thought i would post this......Does anyone remember Creepy Crawlers??(In the early 90's)....lol...Well when i was younger i made them....i still have my plates and oven (I'll post them sometime)....i got these plates for it...these are older tho...1964 (didn't know they been around that long)....but will work with my oven.....i'm going to buy more.....What does this have to do with jewelry and my rock shop you ask?? lol......well i'm gong to try and make jewelry out of them....like insert wire within the rubbery creature. Someday i'm going to get my Casting Station and use these molds to make silver and other metal casts of these for like pendants and charms but not until i get the station that costs around $2,500 but until then i'm just going to get goop and make rubbery ones for jewelry.....hahaha!!!
