Meeting Facebook Friends is often an amazing thing. My FB friend, Gary, called me from the Chicago area and ask if he could stop in and find some Mexican Crazy Lace Agate.
He knew I had some fairly good Old Stock, and he had previously purchased a Crazy Lace Pendant.
He stopped in and after a tour of the shop, we sat outside and swapped stories while Gary picked out some old Crazy Lace. I told him to pick out a piece he loved and I would cut it while he watched. His end game was to have me make a new manly pendant for him. I have to say he had good taste. This stuff from a couple decades ago is so much nicer than the Lace Agate available today.
His challenge was figuring out what side of the slab would be the front. A choice was made and I was prepared to tell him that the side he chose was the side I would have chosen. Both sides were wonderful.
It did not take me long to produce a drop-dead gorgeous cabochon. Since he was staying in the Traverse City area for a couple days, I wrapped it up overnight and we relayed it to him when we did errands in TC. It turned out so well that I guess I have to make one for myself.
Thanks Gary, you own a real bragger.
Custom work is one of my favorite things. Until you have a custom piece made, you can shop our available Crazy Lace Pendants.
