I love making stone hearts! Its another way of showing my love for rocks.
 Here are a few I recently did, both from ThunderEggs. Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for looking!

Awesome work on that heart guys! And plenty of time left until Valentine's Day!
Crusty, that's a nice ebay find, you're right about the artists around here. The rock and gem shop at the boardwalk is the only place left that has lapis for a decent price, and it seems their stock is starting to thin out a bit. I wish the bazaar was still open for some really cheap prices but that's not going to happen any time soon. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness
