re: #443 Walter L. Newton

Thanks… and my comment was a “damn” mess of typos… but you got the drift.

Yes, I like to cut stone… something very self-satisfying about taking a raw piece of stone and shaping and polishing it on a machine with your hands until is is smooth and glass like. I did nine new pieces last week, including 3 nice pieces of turquoise.

There are two young girls (courtesy clerks) at the supermarket who are graduating with one of my step-critters this coming weekend, and they are very helpful workers.

I made one of them a turquoise necklace with a hemp “chain”, bone beads and silver and the other one got a bracelet made of turquoise rondels, bone beads and silver highlights.

Ah, that’s really nice of you, Walter.
