I have a friend that likes to produce creative animals using broken pieces of tile with cement lawn figures as the base. She challenged me to do something with stones so the somewhat abstract rattlesnake pictured below was produced with olivine/peridote granules as the general body background and brighter body chevrons and head differentiation of misc. coral and turquoise (probably faux) beads that were left from another project. The tongue is AZ petrified wood, and the rattles a mixture of carnelian, jasper, quartzite and ?? What I failed to realize is how hard it is to define the various coils of the snakes body without a contrasting line or color separating adjacent body segments. It lives in my flower bed.

Thankfully she didn't ask you to make a "diamond" back rattlesnake! That could've got really expensive! LOL That's a heckuva lot better than I could have come up with...my "artistic" skill contains a "U" instead of the "R" in that word!
