Cool, how do you do that? Do you sand blast it? Do you have templates? That's pretty awesome. Shaun

Troy and Fam,
Awesome to see the carvings. Someday I'll develop a real talent. We haven't seen you in so long, it's great to see some new pictures. Anton

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Rebecca,
Not sure what it would cost to ship it, it is a rock. The big ones are about 20-40 lbs. I would have to check. I guess you could just come down and visit again and bring it home with you. :) I may even show you how to do it so you can make one of your own. $200/hr I think is the going rate for instructors. ;) Make me an offer, and I will check on shipping for you.

Anton,
Nice to hear from you guys again. You should come down and visit. After the hurricane would be better. ;)

Shaun,
It is pretty easy, just get a rock and remove what does not look like a face and you are done. I just draw what I see on the rock with a pencil and cut it out. I want to get a sand blaster though. Just think of the cool faces I could make with that! Still trying to figure out how to get a tongue on there without it breaking. I will keep you posted. Maybe I will make a How-To blog. Or maybe I will just make it look really difficult so that you will buy them from me... :D

So THAT'S why I've had the feeling someone is watching me: I was right! As usual. It's such a burden.
