My neighbor is a huge Saints fan and it was her birthday Thursday but big party tonight. Thought I'd do a little suprise for her. The picture does this one JUSTICE  ;D Marra Mamba Tigers Eye. It is my first shadow box and I figured out that I don't get along too well with felt paper and superglue. My fingers are somewhat felty now.. ;D Hope she likes it!  Steve |

How the heck did you carv all those inside curves? Amazing it held in one piece and none of the points is broken. Very cool gift!

I have tried to make a plain heart shape and have often failed!!! the curves on that piece are truly a work of art.

Steve,
The best gifts are those that draw a connection between the giver and the receiver in a way that nobody else can duplicate.
Excellent job.

Steve:
That is freaking cool, can you make me an Eagles one? Oh wait we never seem to see Eagles and Champions together! LOL That is super cool, I don't know how you carve all those tricky shapes, you have gotten really good at that!

Awesome, Steve - if she doesn't like it, send it my way - and I'm not even a fan.

I'm interested in any templates/tips/suggestions about how to make the Tiger Eye fleur de lys. I have lots of Tiger Eye, I also have some agate with brown and gold plume, as well as some marcasite, that might look naturally "Saints" themed. I'm just now getting set up to make cabs again but I live in the GNO area and at some point I would like to make a stone fleur de lys like this...
