I roll the clay out to 1/2" thick & build the round head shape over a glass globe I had laying around. When the clay sets a little I slit it & peel it off. I start with the eyes & nose & then apply the triangular strips in lines. I have no design in mind when I start, it all follows the eyes &..."

I find them in a small bay of my friends beach property. They have been tumbling around in the ocean for eons, tossed against each other by huge waves, smoothing & rounding them. I choose particular ones for their asthetic shape & lift them out with a crane. Most of them weigh several hundred pounds. I bring them home & live with them for a few weeks looking @ patterns, texture & color changes on the surface. The stone seems to show me the starting lines & then the design progresses from there. I use a diamond encrusted bronze wheel on a vertical grinder to rough out the basic design, then polish it with progressively finer grit wheels. I always leave some outer natural surface to give contrast to the design. I like to carve a bowl in the top of most of my pieces to catch water. It represents an offering dish to float flowers (or let the birds drink) The first boulder shown is called "Whale" topping the scales @..."
