Cathy,
That is really neat...Rosie is adorable too.

I love how you use wood, when I first started looking at this forum I fell in love with your file cabinet, Rosie is very cute.

Thanks EMT and Studio....I really love nature and using what it has to offer. And I love finding new ways to use it. I've got another idea with my next project. But gotta finish what I have going first. I tend to start more and leave the others hanging. Gotta finish up so what I have so I have work space!!! LOL Later

I do like this one alot!
I was telling my mom about you the other day. She misses Alaska. Next time we go to her sister's she wants me to show her all your online pictures.
That Rosie is a cutie!

Thanks tex...Is it U that used to live in Alaska? I can't remember who it was that told me they used to live in Fairbanks. I should be ready to grout this one tomorrow. But I've already started on another so maybe not til Monday.

I finally finished and grouted yesterday. I really like the wood and bark look. so I'll be finding ways to use them both more. I think I'm going to call this one "Kidney Stones". The wood ended up in a kidney shape (not intentional) and rocks inside so...My GD says wow Granny cool purse, a friend says it looks like an indian something. So I guess it is whatever the beholder wants it to be. I guess that's the abstract part??? LOL...I'll seal after a bit more clean up....On to the next one
