šŸ“– Spells8 Book Club V (Feb 26 - Mar 26)

I didnā€™t make it there yesterday @BryWisteria , but Iā€™m hoping to today. I also got some cabochon molds so I can make things to work with. Iā€™m pretty excited about those coming. I got a box to keep my wires in & some totes for the resin working. The things were kind of spreading out across my kitchen. I have to keep them somewhat organized or I will go crazy.

I hope you find what it is that she wrote @Amethyst, thatā€™s very interesting

Me too! Itā€™s got to do with self defense and the Wiccan Rede. It makes sense but I only got a snippet of it, I want to read the whole thing, you know?

Oh no, Iā€™d be so curious! I know exactly how you feel! Happy hunting!

That would make it a bit harder to find if itā€™s something she createdā€¦ but self defense sounds really neat- I hope youā€™re able to learn more about it! :grin:

Youā€™ve got so many fun crafts and projects going on, Krissie :star_struck: I hope you had fun if you were able to make it the stone shop. Enjoy!

I made it to the Stone Store & left with 3 pairs of earrings and about 5 or 6 stones to learn how to wire wrap. Then I forgot, I got a rock tumbler! & once they are tumbled I can wire wrap those stones too! It will be tigerā€™s eye, aventurine, hematite, jasper(s), rose quartz, or clear quartz.

Once my husband builds my craft room I will be able to put the tumbler down there & just let it go for the length of time that it needs to be tumbled. Itā€™s kind of loud to have on while you sleep, so I turned it off last night when I went to bed & then back on this morning when I woke up.

I always wanted a rock tumbler as a kid. Thatā€™s neat!

I have a smaller one that I got for Peanut, because ya knowā€¦ mini meā€¦ whatā€™s mine is hers :rofl: but we put itā€¦ somewhere safe & it was tough to work with after the first time so I got a better 1 that she helps me with doing. She does most of it & I kind of supervise. So some of the stones will go to her but the bulk of them will be for wire wrapping.

Very cool. I wish yā€™all luck with them. How long does it take to polish them?

They get polished in the tumbler, with a foam & gentle grit. So you leave them in there with a couple drops of mineral oil in the tumbler & they get buffed and polished. Right now they are on the 1st grit that takes down the rough edges & smooths them out. There are 4 stages of tumbling. Each one about a week. So it takes about a month for the final product to be done right.
