Gift Stones

Every so often someone's generosity or kindness moves me to the point I want to give them something significant back.

These gift stones are examples;  I set some criteria for this event:
 

  • Do something I can begin and complete in one day at the studio.

  • Start with no preconceived ideas - just chalk it out and begin cutting and welding.

The results are very sketch like, they are free - spontaneous little critters.
