If you aren't, it's well worth a look see.
Not only is the work shown here extensive and impressive, but I love the web site design. It is such a fitting platform for the work being showcased.

I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Kelly,
He is wonderful - thanks for posting the link. I love the skull and chains - really wicked. I also would like to know why the egret (or is it a heron?) is such a popular bird for sand blasted designs. A person sees five sand blasted egrets (or are they herons?) for every swan or robin. Maybe sand blasters just like their birds long and thin instead of roundand fluffy. Who knows - but thanks again. Go Vancouver!

Glad you enjoyed it.
Fnding that site was one of the perks of insomnia and Google. I'm glad you enjoyed the link Sarah, I've had a couple of emails from others about it too. The artist sure has a magnitude of lovely and varied work there. I love the effect of the sandcarved and cleared ones and the native ones are pretty nice too. I'm assuming the etched mirrors are done on the outside surface of the mirror?
I think maybe people use herons because they work well vertically and also have an easily recognizable profile. Plus they have some pretty interesting feather patterns.
I'd love to do an elephant in the near future. Right now there are way too many things on my plate, though.
