Here's a nice Picture Jasper pendant in soft blues and tans. This particular type of stone is called Windy Ridge Picture Japser and comes from Idaho. The stone itself shows a desert or mountainous landscape. I managed to get the little speck in the center so it looks like a bird in the distance, or maybe a UFO. You decide.

This pendant is another one of those "just stop thinking and let it happen" ones. The stone had been sitting around for a long time. and for some reason every time I picked it up I just couldn't get it right. I was hoping to capture the beauty of this stone and not hide any of it's scenic elements in the wire wrap. One day I was staring with the cabochon and it came to me. From the moment I picked up the wire I knew it would be stunning. It was just a matter of letting it happen.
