hi jerry:

I'm not into stones/display, so I honestly don't know whether this is an original idea. the jibans I've seen have been pretty sedate. round, oval, rectangular shapes, dark colors. trying for a little snap, with shapes, colors, edges, etc. also making slabs for ikebana.

best wishes, sam

 

[artofthedaiza]

Yes, I made some slabs and no one showed interest in the geometric shapes. They loved the "organic" shapes!

 

[sam]

organic meaning-more free form?

best wishes, sam
