Girl with Friend

I know that I frequently say that, "...this is
one of my favorite pieces..." and you
might well get tired of hearing it. I don't
say it unless I mean it and 'Girl with
Friend" is certainly no exception. Above
and beyond the several days it takes to
polish the shell, going down to the white
layer in such narrow lines is extremely
difficult because when your bur gets down
into the line in order to reach the white
layer, you can't see what you're doing. But
the result is a piece that exudes peace,
tranquility and being as one with Nature
herself. Perhaps she IS Mother Nature
