Not so much an individual creation as a collection of creations interspersed with minerals and gems. We had a big gem and mineral show up here last weekend and my fiance and I had a display case set up with some of her silversmithed jewelry and some of my soapstone and jade carvings. Overall the show was great and there was more material than you could shake a stick at as wella s some world class jade carvers whom i got to meet. I thought i would post some pics of my display case here to share with the group. Hope you enjoy the pics.

We have been getting a ton of great exposure for our art and creations this year and just today had the local tv channel here for 4 hours to do an interview and film us doing a bit of our craft. The video should be available to view in 2 to 4 weeks and i will be sure to post it when it is ready.

I knew about your talents, but your fiance also creates such beautiful pieces of jewelry.

I like the display case very much. The bear & the diving whale are the center of the whole thing.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

Thanks all, glad you liked our display.

Adrian, my Fiance is very talented and i like to think of her as "the brains, beauty, and talent" of our operation. She didn't put in too much jewelry for this display because the real good ones go out the door faster than she can make them. We are now working on more collaborative pieces and some art with different materials as well i am just starting to teach her how to carve jade so hopefully we will have more of her work to show off soon.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
