This is a Valentine's gift request that I have been working on.
The stone is peach alabaster, from Utah.
The elk ivory is from my brothers elk.

I had to teach myself how to carve alabaster, you can see I went a little wide on the inset.
And the gold wire sets off nicely with the peach stone.

You never know what you have until its gone. ex: toilet paper

Love the inset and personal connection.

Well done.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
