Debbie K Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 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.

Professor Rhubarb Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
