I met Shane last night at an art event after work. All I can say is WOW!. Here are a couple photos of some Jade carvings he has done. The pitcher plant has a tiny fly next to it. He had many earrings, too. Those were made from matched rock slabs. Basically polished "flat cabs". They had drilled holes and were threaded on. No photos of earrings. He used this style of ear wires. I want to get some of these. They would be a whole lot easier to use than attaching a split ring. Shane said he started out using a rotary tool with flex shaft. Now has a computerized system for carving. Had never heard of computerized carving, so this was new to me. The bracelets were priced at between $150.00 and $300.00. Earrings at $100.00 to $125.00. Based on pricing for items he had displayed, I imagine the white jade piece above would have been well over $300.00. It was very inspirational to chat with Shane and see his works.

The octopus is amazing! I love his cords too.
Does he have a website?
