As Pink asked for photos the other days, you can find my latest opal creation on my new instagram!

Feel free to ask for any info on ordering tools from Taobao, I get it all so cheap I would be happen to share! (bullet point nova drill bits for 0.20$ per unit for instance!

Good deal Alex, can you give us a link to it? I'm not on any social media so I don't even know how to find you. :?

It's funny you posted this because when I got here today and checked the stats I wondered how you're doing. Looks like things are going well for you, or at least I hope so. :)

Thanks for the link Alex, I can see your page now, although not being a member I can't click the pics to see more, but from what I can see I must say that opal sitting in the ring setting looks so perfectly round it's impressive, so I have to ask if you have an orb machine, or if you did that freehand. They're very nice either way, so keep up the good work. Image :)

Haha Freehand! Sorry just finished moved out and just back to work and I was not logged in the forum at home/could'nt find PW!

So yes all freehand, I really like to make them round shaped, but to keep that organic feel, an orb/predefined shape would make it too "not alive" I guess? :p

Thanks so much for your encouragments!

In a way it remind me of these old medieval gestome I used to see in museums and castle back in France sometimes, a bit opaque and oddly shaped
