These are the images that I used when applying for my first shows earlier this spring. I’d intended to sell these pieces, but in the end will probably keep them. However, I have other pieces in the same vein. It’s just these particular ones that I’ll keep.

Nesting bowls. First warped bowls I ever did.

I selected geodes from my collection based upon which ones looked good together. I tried lots of ways of arranging various numbers, trying to find a view that described them. In the end, the four-square was really strong from a graphic standpoint; this was the pair that photographed well together.

The most time consuming tumblers of all time. It takes about two hours to carve away all that surface. Per piece. A good friend has one of them, I’m keeping these, and have a couple more (I think) packed away and for sale.

This happens to be the first house that I made. I was going to sell it, but realized that I really like it for a napkin holder. If you would like a napkin holder shaped like a house, let me know.

Beautiful work, the Tumblers are tremendous, the carving outcome is SPECIAL, I like that house the best of what I have seen, maybe the surface effect combined with the formal casual form.
The geodes are also very SPECIAL in my sight, really really strongly attractive.
I love the blues in the bowls and they way they stack in each other, that is fine on its’ own to me.
Ins and Outs, my name for the rock boxes above this post. A hedgehog is squarish, I would think more Gaudi myself. These are terrific regardless and the roundings make them more friendly than the squareness wants to imply.
