The Many Sides of Picasso Jasper
About this design:
I love Picasso jasper and all of the varieties. I made both of these sets at the same time to demonstrate how versatile these stones can be. I just think they look significantly different and I guess so did one of my customers because she bought both of them. (to which I said to myself "Whoopee!" :):)
Components:
various shapes, sizes, and designs of Picasso Jasper, bright copper accents, antique copper accents, pendantsAdditional Images:

Leigh D says:Kathryn – these are all stunning! Is there any way you could post the pics separately so I/we could see them up close? I agree with you – that picasso jasper is very versatile and one of the reasons I love jasper IS because there are so many varieties.

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Hey you guys, I’ll tell you a secret I discovered that works with my computer at least I tried to post this the other day but you know not everyone on here at same time. Hold down the control (I use left) button and then use the rolly thing on the mouse and push it one way (the rolley thing) it will enlarge your page and go the opposite turning and it will shrink or use regular to 100% to go back to normal. I got clear up to 800% the other night. There are a pretty looking bunch of ladies on this sight. (No I am not a pervert) First thing my husband said when I got on to this sight is your gonna meet a pervert.

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Her pictures are a bit fuzzy doing this. I checked it out over the icons for us and it didn’t blur much. It’s fun. For Lynn Eileen who is always wanting to see what we look like it is perfect. LOL

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:“Control +” or “control -” will do the same if you’re on a laptop without a mouse.
Kathryn – I really love these 2 very different designs! I love the bead in the center of the flower pendant, the bead caps, really the overall design of both sets!
