OK. Last two out of my batch this week. Course... this week means I finished them this week. I've probably been working on them for 2-3 weeks. :/

great work with that jade - cool unusual shape :)

I like also the pendant and wonder how the big silver thing was made ?
what I don't like is the 'ring' which is holding 2 pieces - I think you should make something in the same style

Thanks! :) The jade is sold. For the silver I created a carving and them made a mold. So ya, I can make more along these lines later.

Thanks! The carving part isn't really that hard.

I don't mean how hard was to carve it but how you could come up with shape like that :) :roll:
the shape of this silver thing is apstract - random - and looks very natural that is why there is something interesting about it (for me)

Ah... ya. Organic abstract is kind of my groove. ;)

For example, one of my oil paintings.

I do more than just abstract

But my soul sings when I paint abstracts. :)

Outstanding! I could get lost in that first painting KJ. So much stuff to look at in there! ;)

Thanks! That's one of my favorites. It's long sold.

This is another of my favorites that I'm keeping. It's hanging in my office. I painted an opal a loooong time ago. The pic doesn't do it justice though as it has a lot of texture. I should get a new photo now that I have a better camera...

I had another one similar to that pink one but it looks like I don't have it up on my website. I'll look for it when I get home.
