Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

What cuties. My freind calls his by Gemstones, Opal Pearl, Ruby.

Your kitties are adorable!!

Chris, if you're ever in Minnesota, please let me know! I'll pay you for wire wrapping classes!!! As you can see by my newest attempt, I seem to be going backward .

Tourmaline in quartz:



The bails are still giving me difficulty. I suppose one of my problems is that I want it to be perfect NOW!! Who? Me? Practice??!!! I shouldn't have to practice!!! I should be able to make beautiful jewelry right out of the gate!!

MoDo, where in MN are you? I just relocated to Fargo.

kjsspot--I'm about 45 minutes north of the Twin Cities.

Chris--I've been to Canada twice, up to Winkler in Manitoba, for their Harvest Festival. Turns out that folk from those parts actually do say "eh?" at the end of sentences . I've never even been to New England, so nowhere near to Nova Scotia! Of course, I can't visit Canada anymore without a passport and I haven't yet taken the time to get one .

Thank you for your kind compliments and for the hints and suggestions! I've heard of taking sandpaper to pliers before, but I'm almost afraid to do it ; don't know why. I'll try to screw up my courage. In the meantime, I'll enjoy seeing all of your beautiful and inspiring work!

Wow! So nice! I especially like the first one .
