Here's the latest custom feast for your senses. I swear picture jasper is the coolest stuff known to mankind.
If you were contemplating getting a custom piece for the holidays (and you know, you're allowed to give yourself gifts too) I'd recommend getting in touch with me sooner than later.
Yummy, huh?
Oooh, aaah...ok, this is one of the nicest ones I've made in forever. It's an Atherton Picture Jasper, a fun custom order where she sent me the stone to set.
Turned out nice, huh?
This is a piece of Marra Mamba from Australia. The sad thing is that the photo still just doesn't do the stone justice. If you've ever seen tiger eye and you've seen how it flashes in the light, well this stone has that going on as well. It's stone # 28 from here. I've got one more piece of marra mamba if this tickles your fancy, #27, and again the photos just don't do the stones justice. Sigh.
Wahoo! I'm finally caught up with custom orders! It only took 3 months. Just in time for a quick breather before the holiday shopping frenzy starts. I can't believe I'm getting Christmas catalogs in the mail already. Hello - it's OCTOBER. I promise...you will see no Santas and reindeer on this site until well into November. Pinky swear.
Anyway, here are the latest custom pieces. I really love both of those stones. I'm always so happy to know these goofy rocks are going to good homes.

And here's why I love working with custom orders:
Let me start out with...
Oh my god thank you Toby they are absolutely gorgeous. Definitely worth
the wait (you should see the giant smile on my face now).
I can't wait to see them "in the flesh". Thank you so much, I don't
think I will be able to say that enough.
These are going out to Australia, cool, huh? I still can't wrap my head around it being spring over there. All our beautiful flowers are brown and crispy now and theirs are just popping up.

Hi Toby,
Just writing to say I received the necklaces today and they are
absolutely gorgeous. I can't express how much I love both of them.
It was also a great pleasure getting to know you and if anyone asks I
won't hesitate to tell them where I bought these beautiful necklaces.
This piece of jasper has just been begging and pleading to be a ring. And now it's finally gotten its' wish. Cool, huh? Hope they like it.
Wahoo! I'm out of here for a couple of days. After a CRAZY couple of weeks I'm soooooo looking forward to getting out of Dodge for a little while. I'll be back on Tuesday, I promise.
Here's a little eye candy to keep you tied over for a couple of days. It's a custom order I finished up a couple of weeks ago. Pretty, huh?
And here's the comments:
"I have received my necklace-it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!"
I've been awash in custom orders lately. And it's just so fun. First of all I get to talk to the people ordering the pieces instead of just sending out an order to jkl1132@yahoo.com.
It's kinda lonely having a web based business, you don't get to meet the people browsing around your shop. So, doing the custom stuff is fun.
Anyway, this is a piece of montana agate I just put the finishing touches on. The photo doesn't come close to doing justice to the piece. But, yeah, it's a gorgeous stone.
I offered to take it off my customer's hands and keep it for myself, but darn, she really likes it. Oh well, I'll just have to make one for myself.
Looks cool, huh?
And I so love getting these emails in my inbox:
"I got my necklace the other day and I just wanted to say that you were right, the pictures didn't do it justice and I just absolutely love it. It's beautiful and unique and it's phenomenal. Thank you so much!!"
