I went to Robert Hall Originals yesterday with a couple girlfriends. One friend does beading and the like and the other does silver work (and has her own shop in her backyard *envy*).

I needed a chunk of rose quartz to go with a couple other chunks of stone for the purpose of meditation. And suddenly I was on a Rose Quartz kick! I must have over 30 oval cabs of varying sizes of rose quartz now. I also picked up a string of square rose quartz beads and 4mm amethyst beads. The rose quartz cabs weren't stunningly deep colour or anything. In fact I tended to pick up the clearer pieces with clouds or streaks of rose in them.

So now, I need to make something with them. Let's see if I can come up with something good...

Also, I entered a little contest for the Open House at RHO. They asked people to identify the backdrop for their wire wrap jewellery. My guess was correct! $25 gift cert for the next time I'm there!
