They look a bit like Petoskey stones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petoskey_stone
My Dad used to paint pebbles and rocks, but his work was far more interesting than this stuff. If I can find photos I’ll post them here, but it blows this stuff away. Whether people want to buy the damn things is another question. I don’t think they do, frankly, and that’s probably why he gave it up…
I like the concept and the detail, but I would find it much more interesting if there was more variation. The possibilites are infinite, but she just does the same thing over and over and it gets rather boring. I also agree with Carruthers in questioning the marketability of this. I’d like to see his dad’s creations, though…
Petoskey stones do the same thing and they’re natural. This just looks obsessive-compulsive.
