Cornel:

This piece is absolute perfection. I want you to know how much I enjoy your work, especially this piece and the orange and snail you posted a while ago. Sometimes, when looking at this site, it can be discouraging when others work is so highly advanced, as yours is. But I went to your website and looked at your work, and I see that even you got better as time went on.

Thank you for sharing this work with all of us, it gives us something to strive for.

Debbie K

WOW! Stunning!

I wanted to carve a few soapstone turtles a few months ago but didn't even know where to begin... and I didn't even end up with ROCKS that even closely resembled turtles! Do you know the species of this little beauty? Does it have a name?

10/10!
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

The turtle's very lifelike, Janel, and the case is very elegant. It's a good contrast.

Thank You all for this feedback, I am very delighted about ,
after so long working on it in the ivory tower....... :)

Debbie, if my work could be little bit a motivation and
inspiration, it would be the best reaction.

Professor, this one should be a few days old greece turtle......

Cornel asked me to post the images for him, he is not comfortable doing that part of posting.
