Feather-ier

I wanted my feathers to be bigger and feather-ier and more LIFELIKE and this is the result of simply trying something wispy and vaporous and opaque that lived in my imagination but not yet in my fingertips. I’ll be offering these pieces and a couple others from the same design family in my shop sometime on or after May 25th. Until then, I’m in the middle of a major commercial photography project here, hence the availability delays.

One other thing worth mentioning is the slice of Succor Creek picture jasper in the larger design was cut by me with the help of my friend Nick. I’m dipping back into lapidary work here. It’s been 13 years since I last seriously cut stones! It’s so much fun. I’m remembering some aspects of stone cutting and I’m learning new techniques that no one ever told me about which is really cool. But most importantly, I see a future wherein I am able to cut cabochons exactly the way I want them cut with the rock I want to be using — namely local agates and jaspers — and the future is going to be sweet!
