Thank you so much, Bob! This material was so nice, I'd have to try pretty hard to mess it up, so beautiful. Thanks again for watching!

Patient, artistic, charismatic and knowledgeable sums up you through your videos! Truly, you have a great eye for detail in your shop, as well as on the beach. Looking forward to when you hit the OC next year!

Bryan, you're too kind! Thank you for those great words, I appreciate the feedback. It's super fun to work in the shop and see how some of these lovely stones turn out when worked, but you know that the real fun is playing outside on the OC. I can't wait until season too! Thanks again for watching!

Great job, love the tips along the way. A fun video!

Enjoying this early morning watching a slight Blast From The Past. Another Outstanding Display of Your Talent/Skill/Passion Of Your Craft. Rosie Was Blessed With an Amazing Amount Of Ellensburg Blue. So Happy & Glad For Her. We haven’t posted any videos yet on our You The Tube Channel, but have been making videos/recording of our ??? We are not techky-hehehe. So I have been researching the best way to tackle/approach these Beauties. I’ve only slabbed one Blue that is approximately 6” x 4” and each slab I made I was going to look briefly at it however I was extremely mesmerized by its shear Beauty that I Took some time to look at each piece after slabbing it. This Lapidary is Some FUN & ENJOYABLE ADVENTURE ESPECIALLY FOR ME seeing the Creations at whole-then to slab/cut and Polish. We’ve just started and just Thinking how Many Wonderful, Amazing Beautiful/Gorgeous Creations You have Seen and the Shear Pleasure/Enjoyment when YOU PUT YOUR AWESOME TOUCH FROM BEGINNING TO FINALIZATION. You’re Truly Blessed Young Lady.

Awwwww, that's such an awesome comment, thanks so much! It sounds like your Ellensburg Blue is lovely. Isn't it amazing to open it up and see just how super gorgeous that creation is? Every single one being different and beautiful in its own right. I'm glad that you're having fun cutting and polishing, it seems like such an amazing thing to take part it. We're blessed to be able to be part of it, if you ask me. Thanks again for your feedback and there's always the next project to be amazed and humbled by. Cheers!

Oh yes! I love cleaving stones with a sledgehammer. You get some really cool breaks that afford neat shapes for free-form cabbing and carving as well. Thanks for watching!

Watching the changes from raw to polished is fascinating. I have a few pieces of Ellensburg Blue Agate that I need to dig out of a box. One of my clients brought them to me almost 30 years ago, and now I really want to take a closer look at them. Thanks for sharing your process. You're quite inspiring. :-)

I love how you start out with the raw rough stone and work them down into some beautiful shaped Cabochon. They turned out beautiful, are you going to show them set in the rings?

@OzoneFineArtVentures

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! It's super cool to see the shapes the stones come up with and then the challenge they throw down to find their expression through the cut and polish. I've got the ring video in the works right now. I'll probably do a short for instant gratification and then a full length video for those who'd like to see the process in more detail. Thanks so much for watching!

I've smashed big juicy piece of holley blue agate and surprisingly it was the best choice... but using a trim saw will give you better results on average. This material like to brake too. Nice work

What machine are you using

when i cut a stone i some times get so lot in it i lose all track of time!!!

@OzoneFineArtVentures

2 жыл бұрын

That's the best, when you lose all track of time being absorbed in the cutting and polishing of stones. That's when I do a lot of my envisioning of the setting and over all look of a completed piece of jewelry. It's always wonderful to be working the lapidary, especially when the piece just gets better and better in a surprising way, as you go along. Thanks for watching!
