So Many Options

April 10, 2014 by Tom

I picked up some very nice new Crystals and Minerals, to use in my sculptures, at this year’s Tucson Gem Show. I always enjoy going to the Shows and looking at what’s available, and imagining what I could do with all these beautiful materials. It does require a lot of self control, on my part, though. I’m so tempted to buy way much more than I can use. For anyone else that loves Crystals and Minerals as much as I do, I’m sure you’ve been faced with this same problem. You can easily find yourself with that “well, maybe just one more” attitude. Continue reading

My 2014 Gem Show

February 20, 2014 by Tom

I look forward, each year, to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society Show, at the Tucson Convention Center. I work very hard on each of my pieces, not knowing how many, if any, might sell. This is the only Show I do. So when I have a good Show, as I did this year, it means I will be very busy the next 11 months thinking up and creating some new Fantasy Sculptures. Continue reading

New Look

January 27, 2014 by Tom

In designing my new site, there were a few specific things I wanted, and one was the look of my Home page. I tried various options but kept coming back to my original thought. I’d seen a wonderful painting, many years ago, in a Realms of Fantasy magazine entitled “Monument”, by Jerry Vanderstelt. Continue reading

On a Roll

January 5, 2014 by Tom

Wow. My site is coming along and look’n great. I really didn’t believe it possible.

I am in the process of adding all my sculptures. It is a long process but I will certainly have time to get them all in by Gem Show 2014. Which is just around the corner.

I had to make a few life changes to make this happen, but, all for the best. I actually now have High Speed Internet. Don’t know how I got along for so long without it. Working on my new site would have been so much more frustrating and time consuming without it.

For those of you visiting my site, and now reading my posts, I hope that you bookmark my page and check back and see what is going on.

New Website

December 26, 2013 by Tom

A lot has changed over the years and the other day I discovered that my site had disappeared. I made a few inquiries and found out that my once high-tech site was outdated and that best resolution would be to start over using more current ‘stuff’.

With the 2014 Gem Show just around the corner I was concerned that I wouldn’t have a site running in time. However, my web guy assured me that it could be done. And from the looks of things, he was right.

I now have a new site with blogging capabilities. I don’t have even a clue how to use it, but again I am assured it is pretty easy and that I will be able to do and get much more from this site than my previous.

The hard part is going to be getting all my pieces added to this new site, and this will take some time. First I kinda have to learn how to use this site, and then how to add my art. So, please check back as I will be growing this site.
