DO INLAY :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


Never say die!!!! eek eek gaah gaah gaah gaah [uncle] [uncle] [uncle]


This is Samantha- Tabitha's blond haired slightly younger looking Clarkii clown fish sister.
NO recon stone in this one- all gold and black pearl, corian, and white river pearl.

I don't usually do repeats but this was a special set and getting to do the face again, even though flipped over facing the other direction was a great experience. It gave me a chance to fix all the things I didn't feel strong about on the last one. Here instead of being engraved the lips are pink mussel shell. It matches her fair tone better then the red head.

Thanks! That was the LAST ONE I promise! You can see me on Thursday! Friday, then Saturday at 9:00 with the inlay Gods, Then Sunday- Don't even try to find me Monday..

Goodness gracious I am totally blown away. Just the detail in the anemome (hope I got that right), is truly amazing. [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

She is certainly huggable.

Well Craig you've certainly earned reserved seating amongst the gods of inlay that will be in Miami.

Anthony that seat is very special indeed. I certainly consider it an very high honor and am greatly humbled to be on the same side of the table as those world renown artists.

Any chance that there will be a DVD of the inlay experts panel discussion? If so, sign me up!

Cheers,

I know it's being telecast across the exhibit halls and it's a no charge session.
You can see our group write ups about our philosophies as inlay as art here:

http://www.newportguitarfestivalmiamibeach.com/guitarsandInlay.html

I'll let you know if there is a recorded version.
