This Alabaster carving of a mother and child walking a dog recently found a new home. I include this here to offset the apparent preoccupation with cats this blog has implied.  I have actually made very few works of art using animals.  Beth and I are far better known for doing variations of hearts, and I primarily do figurative pieces.

Free-Form Cabochons

Here is a sampling of some of Beth's free-form cabochons still attached to the dop sticks she uses to hold  stones while she grinds and polishes them on a series diamond wheels. Included are examples of Agates, Amathest,  Jaspers, Jade, and Chrysophrase.

Tennessee Sponge Cat

We started setting up to demonstrate at the Pink Palace Crafts fair today, so the Tennessee Sponge Cat story will have to wait.
