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
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.
