I used to be anti-cab...

I still am if your intent is to do bead embroidery around it.
I can't stress enough how much I like a well-cut bead for an embroidery focal....
however....
if it's going to be set in stone...
I'll take a cab.

These are amethyst drusy.
They're itty bitty droplet sizes that will become a ring for my little sis with a February birthday.


Banded agate in a perfect dome that reminds me of the ocean hitting the sand.
It's also destined for the finger of another little sis and will probably be worn all fall.


This Crazy Lace Agate was purchased in answer to a request for pink from the third little sis.
(They are all forever at a loss for pink...I seem to be the only one in the family with no true love for the color!)
This little sis doesn't wear rings or bracelets, so it will inevitably become a necklace.


This?
Picasso Jasper.
Mine and gorgeous.
It will be a necklace definitely, I'm just waiting on it to get here.


These days I'm feeling not quite so anti-cab...
I do believe it's the possibilities...
Now...if I can only find the time!

Enjoy your Wednesday!
