thanks KJ your such a sweety :)

My Gosh Vini, Those are wonderful!!! Does the stone have a cold feel to it?, or soft and warm? I don't have a lot of knowledge of stone, but I do love the touch and feel of the different textures of stone and crystals too and the energy.

Do you have other pieces that you have created?

You know, you just might be on to a new path and what a wonderful path to use a gift you have to create beauty.

Your light is bright.....energy
