Hi there, hardly got anything to post anymore. Have yet again fallen into Fire Agate trap. But at least this time round it looks like to pay off spending nearly 200 hours on the first piece alone. All of them are WIP Negrita   Part of another Mexican (in picture about two square inches)  And just started yesterday (the biggest yet)   That just about reaches the limit as to what makes sense to work for me when it comes to size.  Thanks for looking, Kurt |

Thank you all for the kind words. for someone who didnt want to work onthe big ones you sure seam to do quite well! Always looked forward to bigger pieces, but I did not want to pay the price for US material. The first one above has come to me as a two for one deal, where someone send me two pieces and I get to keep one (not the one in the pic unfortunately). But fortune smiled these past few months, as I was able to obtain the other two (plus two more coming) at a very reasonable price, and alone the quality of the one pictured as the second piece here makes the expenditure worthwhile, even if the other three do not work out. Remember, while I need to watch my expenses, once bought, pieces have only idealistic value (which often differ quite a lot from the general perception of valuable)to me, without dollar signs. |

Yeah I remember the one with a huge chalcedony cap on it. But that one is a completely different story as the carving needs to blend in with the available fire. I doubt that I could to that one already. Be patient, give me a couple of years more of practice, and if you still have it by then, then lets give it a shot. We did not come to an agreement last time simply because up to now, I must insist that you give me two chances to ensue that at least one works out to your satisfaction. |
