I would love to see photos..

I just got about 20 small slices and 2 medium slices to try my hand at a panel with geodes.. But, as usual, the design is in my head right now and I'm not too sure how to go about it. So far, I have put them thru the grinder so that the foil will stick.

Anybody out there have any tips? Before I mess them up..lol

I used one on a jewerly box lid; which i gave away. Because of the thickness I used two bands of foil around the slice.
I've thought about using them in a lamp shade. I'll look forward to seeing your project.

I've got some ideas and have to set some time aside (at bedtime) and draw some patterns...

I'll post when I get something down on paper.
