Hello everyone!
 It has been forever since I have been in so I thought I'd come in and post a pic of my latest piece. I hope all is well with everyone. Dan and Denise I hope ya'll are well especially. This piece is a slice of a seashell that I found in a bead shop. When I saw it I knew exactly what I wantd to do with it. It is inlayed with welo opal chips. In hand it shows the opal a bunch better. By the way Dan, I tried to email you but I was told there was something wrong with the address. Ya may want to check that out.

Another one. This one is a piece of petrified palm wood with turquoise inlayed in it. Its wrapped with sterling silver. This was my very first attempt at inlay. I used 330 epoxy with black colorant. I just cut the groove then mixed the turquoise and epoxy together and spooned it into a groove cut about 1/8th inch deep in the wood. After letting it set I went to my Genie and smoothed the whole thing over. I was pleasently surprised at how it turned out.
