Vapid Lapid is one of my favorite CSers.

He does artistic, fun stuff and post great pics for everyone to enjoy.

I would like to share a tribute to VL, and I hope you can join me in asking him to return.

Vapid, please come back!! :((

Who can forget the Color Change Garnet with Devil Duck? Or the Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl that he used EXTREMELY appropriately?

Who can forget the chunk of sky that he held in his hand?

Who can live without more pics of his fabulous pug?

Or his bizarre ability to actually make rings? It's like alchemy! Sure, it involves a hammer, but it still always felt like alchemy!

Come back, VL, we need all these things on CS!

(disclaimer; in the interest of keeping this on CS-VL's true home-, rather than hangout, please note the number of colored stones in this thread. There's even a picture of rough!)

I miss VL too. It is a shame.

For CS relevancy, what is that blue rough?
 
I'll never forget the pic of his gemstones "driving around" in the little toy car. It included a princess Mahenge cut by Gene, I believe.
 
Aww, iLander, you used my favorite photo - the one of Murry NOT lifting weights! Now I'll have to go get some of my own to add here. :appl:
 
Artistic? I guess, maybe ever so slightly...

Actually, he got the idea for this photo from me - yeah, yeah, that's it; it was my idea. In fact, everything he knows, he learned from me...yeah. :naughty: :naughty:

I miss VL too, a lot. I'm sad we made him want not to come back. He's a grown-up with the kid still there inside. ;( If you're visiting at all, VL -- please come back! (P.S. DH recommended a great new publisher for your dad!)

I have GOT to find that one! :appl: :appl:
 
I loved seeing the progression pictures of his ring, for sure!
 
Wow, amazing pictures. You like colour change garnets too! Please come back and post pics of how the two handmade rings turned out too!
 
VL, come back. C'mon, save us from, "I am looking for a sapphire for my ering...."

I didn't see that emerald cabochon ring before. Can I buy an emerald cab from you to use in my daughter's ring? VL!!!
 
Dammit I missed something serious again didn't I? :errrr:
 
VL = the most kind, sweet, gentleman in every sense of the word.

NEEDED BACK HERE NOW!
 
i love the cat with the cat's eye chrysoberyl!!
 
Yes, you owe use an update on the kitty cat. :nono: :bigsmile: I enjoyed seeing that piece of wood slowly transforming into an art piece.
 
Bump!

VL--I hope you might have caught this thread, and can feel the love from the CS board. Hoping you come back, and wishing you well in the meantime!
 
Bumping, in hopes VL sees us. :wavey:
 
Thanks y'all.
It is hard to leave; this is a good place with great people.
 
Wonderful to see you back. You've been missed x
 
Thumbs up.
 
Welcome back! :wavey: It's great to see you on the boards and contributing again.
