Your pieces look well finished and professional. Do you buy the stones in those shapes, or do you shape and polish them yourself?

That beautiful red turquoise is new to me. Using it next to amber would be a stunning combination.

I buy all the beads and findings etc.

I was thinking of putting this in a spoiler, but since I already showed the names in the poll, not much point hiding them here.

The winner for this one was hermes2015, with #15: Beethoven and tea.  ;)

Congratulations, hermes2015! Your photos are rather popular with this group, please keep 'em coming.  :smilenod:

My personal favourites out of this edition were Magdalena's cat in #10 and xSilverPhinx's impromptu tourist tchotchke diorama in #27.  :)

All photos I entered were taken around the house where I'm currently living. #18 is from the inside of a piece of plywood I was working on. I found this unusual pattern on one of the plies, and in conjunction with the interesting void and the little knot, I thought it evoked an alien landscape. I guess you had to be there.  :sadcheer: :lol:

Awww.
Thank you, Recusant.
That's my feisty feline, Fiona.
She yawned when I took the picture, that's how I captured that expression.

Congrats, Hermes! :cheers:

I knew the winning photo was yours, being about classical music and stuff. I did.  :smug:

Curious as to who has the TARDIS looking thing...

I think Sandy here is actually the one who took that photo and is just trying to misdirect our attention.  ;D

Ha, I was thinking the same thing.

Me too :)

:shifty: Welp...I guess it was me all along.  :sidesmile:

I thought it was Billy's. I didn't try for him and I would have missed anyway.

It looked like, to me, a table cloth with a cigar burn and coffee stains. This is why I'm not invited to an art museum.  :lol:

Thank you all for the imaginative pictures.  I made some guesses about the origin of the Pix but had most of them wrong.  Thanks especially to Recusant for sorting out the entries.  You guys are a cool bunch of humans.

I don't think I'd have voted for a beat up table cloth either.  :smileshake:
