Ritual Tampers

[voorhees]

Pruss, I commissioned a tamper from Michael and included an loose opal I had purchased many years ago. Here is is if you missed it.

Those are lovely. I like the occult/ritual theme.

I am attached to my pipe nails because, costing a dollar or two apiece, I never lose them.

Same here. They're also small enough to be very portable.

These are also very portable. I keep one in my pocket at all times. But, Jason had a great idea of making a small leather pouch for them. I am in discussion with a local leather-worker on this.

)_(**(&%&^%^*%$&*%^ Michael. I just said no more pipe dollars this year. Then you go and crank out this new art. I really love that one with the blue stone. The one with the ringed base really speaks to me also.

Your tampers are truly beautiful and unique. One day I hope to have one in my collection. ::

Ha ha, thanks guy!!!

Really nice work Michael! :clap:
Fire Agate would make a great stone for this ... still have some?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I still have a whole five pounds of fire agate. But, it's so labor intensive that I have yet to make anything at all out of it. But, I do have some Mexican Flame agate that is very different from fire agate. It looks like frozen fire. I may have to make the next one out of it.

I here that! The best diamond coated drill bits I've ever bought are chewed up after one or two small stones.
That Mexican Flame Agate looks pretty cool ... kind of a like some of the Moss Agate I find around here.
