I don't remember giving you permission to carve my face but you did catch me on a good day. Nice work. How long have you been carving and what is the material you are using? Jim

Nice into. As not everyone has Photobucket; next time you could just copy the IMG (image) link, and the photos will show here.

Thank You,
I started carving 1yr ago. my grandfather passed away and he was a rock hound, traveled all over collecting rocks, fishing and apparently he was friends with the man in charge of the brush well man mine near delta Utah "where TiffanyStone is found" back when it could be gathered legally. So i inhereted all his rocks and tools.
I am a Surveyor Chief of Party by trade but I have always been an Artist, wood carving, sculpture, Ive done Tattoos for 10yrs. when i need cash anyways. and never looked twice at a rock until i seen these ones! I have a huge collection of Tiffany Stone and a lot of other stuff too, I cut a few and seen how cool some of them are and decided to go for it, cutting the main shape from the rock is my favorite, getting it all smooth is a B! now a year into it ive cut so many of those rocks i concider my self an expert at Tiffany Stone, i could tell what ones are good and what ones aren't and its deceiving sometimes. anyhow im selling some slabs that are good material and have excellent patterns, I am getting some pics uploaded tonight and like i said I have a lot of good ones that i want to make stuff out of but will never have time so i want others to enjoy at a fair cost. thanks again.
Oh ya, Thanks for the photo bucket advice i was struggling!

Excellent job. Just add some hair and you would have a shrunken head.
