Let the chaos commence!

I suppose this will serve as the introduction to The Amber Bee...... My hope is that this will be a place to show case new projects and maybe connect with others regarding value added products, crafting, sustainable agriculture, and all things antique. Be gentle I'm new to blogging! I guess I should begin with my latests endeavor: Lapidary! After taking a class at Sterling College with a good friend Jody Stoddard, I became interested in value added products, specifically gravel lapidary. Yep I said gravel! If I can figure out how to do it, pictures of my work will follow, but trust me gravel is beautiful once I get done with it!
And there you have it! This was the first batch, cut and polished by Jody, wire wrapped by me and on sale at a local cafe. This is all locally "harvested" stone, picked up from the road sides mostly. Following are a group of stones cut, polished, and wrapped by me.....and two left unwrapped as baubles for a f
riend to play with :) More to follow involving the process!
