Dragonflies and Roses? I supposez!

These are my latest copper and cholla wood sculptures. I've never seen a dragonfly land on a rose bush, but I like the two together. This one is called Dragonflies and Roses (OK, not such an original title). More views at:

The two below are called Dragonfly at Rest, and Dragonfly & Rose (Variation on a theme). But I think these types of titles get found easier on web searches, so there is method to my madness.

WIP, a Box of Rocks & 3 at once!

This is what I've been working on. It's just a box of rocks, the tough part is that I still need to cut about twice again as many stones as you see here before I can tumble them to finished cabochons. If that seems like a lot of work it's just because IT'S A LOT OF WORK! But it will be worth it when completed. Seen here is a mix of mostly agates and jaspers. The first two cuts are made by hand. When I have about 4-1/2 lbs. of stones I can begin to tumble them. It's a multi-staged process with a thorough wash up between each tumble.

 

The other news is that I was featured in three ArtFire Collections in one day!

 

My Dragonfly sculpture, Chinese Writing Stone pendant, & Butterfly & Poppy sculpture all were featured yesterday in separate ArtFire Collections:
