I love making hearts in stone! I was looking over a few very tiny pieces of Opal that I had. I flattened a back side to a few and dopped them to toothpicks with superglue. Looking over one I said, "this one would make a great little heart, I would just need to work it by hand still on the stick!" I looked over at Dan and he replied "no you can't" and then smiled really big. That would be way too hard to do babe, you can barely even see it now let alone work it to a polish."..... He really knows how to inspire me. He knows I hate being told that! Sorry, just a girl. By far the smallest heart I have made yet! By the end of the day, I had not only made it a 3.17 x3.17 mm (1/8 x 1/8 in.) polished heart, but I took pictures!
The larger one measures 6 x 6 mm. Still not the best Opal pictures but hopefully practice will help. Both polished on the back sides also! The smaller one in this picture looks like a shot from space if you look at the larger image for more detail. They will make great little inlays for something I think. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
