Howdy all,

I’ve been an artist all my life. I’m not great but I do enjoy creating things. I say anything I can put my hands on is fair game for art. I was given a hand carved crystal skull from “Skullis” as a birthday gift a couple years ago from a close friend. Once it was given to me it literally grew roots in my system and took over my life. I couldn’t not learn how to carve rock. I spent a year learning from a Chinese master of the art.
I had this really cool piece of Chinese Hubei spiderweb turquoise sitting around for a while and finally had to do something with it. Here’s my first attempt at carving a human skull from turquoise. I put the first initial of my first name in the hole where the spinal column comes out of the skull bottom.
