Scratch That Idea

I decided to scratch the idea of the "floating stone" in my belt buckle.  It seems that I got overlay, inlay, and underlay decisions and options.  After years of moving and unpacking, tearing down, setting up...some projects just remain unfinished.  My medicine wheel was such a project.  Yesterday, I did the final cutting of the inlay for that piece.  Then I glued the pieces in place.  Today, I will grind, cut, and polish the outside edge.  I finished the beeded necklace that goes with this piece.  I started "the real deal medicine wheel" in 1998.  It was a personal amulet to ward off bad and evil doctors who would harm me for the sake of their moneitary gain.  That is why I call this piece the REAL DEAL MEDICINE WHEEL.  I hope to have it finished by my Pearl Market gig on June 7th 10:30-2:00 downtown Columbus.  I hope to see you there.



post script:  In case you are wondering...some of the turquoise in these pieces are real.  Some are stablilized turquoise.  Can you tell which ones contain real turquoise, and which do not?
