This is the first time I have looked at your work. I had, for some erroneous reason, mistook you for a man. My mistake and my apoligies.

nolavon [2005-04-04 15:17:59 +0000 UTC]

that is really very beautiful. I cant even begin to imagine the process of bronze casting. Its a unique skill in art in a gallery full of those who draw and photograph. I'm rather gald I chose this category of DA to browse. It turned out some really beautiful pices of art.

Chrissi [2004-11-18 01:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Oh my god.. I love moonstones, and the one picked out for this one is really great. I love the design too. You have so much talent! I love it, it all flows together so nicely and the bottom is so pretty.

Forgive me, for it's not even part of your skill other than picking it out, but I LOVE the stone, I have a thing for moonstones....

So beautiful, the entire thing, it's wonderful. I wish I had one of my own...

Ah, this really has style! The moonstone really is a nice touch (odd, though, it looks more like an opal to me...most moonstones I've seen look much more bland). I love how intricate those tail loops are...that must have taken quite a while.

Although, next time you take a picture like this, you might want to take your ring off. ^_^;; For a moment I was wondering why in the world you have put stones like that in the tail.
