Seems most of the sculptures Im working on right now are smaller than a quarter.
Here is an example with this California Fire Agate bee in the works. Only his right wing is showing in this picture as size example. The wings still need to be attached, so it looks a bit like this still yet. Hopefully it will improve in time, and I wont snap a wing trying to put it all together. I think Im going to forward a few of the bigger projects I have in the works, and give my fingers a break.......hehe Have to love the challenge though right? -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Here's a simple sculpture. Something I did with one of my small Chrysoprase slabs leftover from the table project. I don't have any lap gear so this could still use a polishing but turned out ok using a Dremel and a variety of diamond bit shapes and sizes. I used the image below and photo-shopped a computer pencil sketch of the image. I captured a good outline of the fish by doing this, then reduced it in size, printed, cut pattern, and traced it onto the stone. I wanted to capture the true shape of this Cuttbow (Rainbow/Cutthrout Hybrid) as it was a well proportioned fish. It was released within seconds of this photo to fight another day. Not sure what to do with this piece yet and wide open to suggestion! Here's a crabby-face for ya Denise! Swear ta God, I wasn't crabby, some shots just "happen" and I intentionally handled that fish out of the water for a very minimal amount of time. .... + I'm not so photogenic This is my Chrysoprase rendering, with no back-light Lights up nicely... Very nice Swizz! A fine little piece to remember what a great day on the creek that was and both fish (real and chrysophase) are sweet. Man that was a nice hybird you caught and released. Thanks for sharing with us all, we'll be looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with it too. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
