Some things we've been making

Here are just a few of the things we've been working one. I particularly like the cherub with flower.

Pink granite Jesus

Mike just finished this. He will now carve half-serpentine wings that will jut out on either side.

Some of Mike's finished things

Here are a Madonna and the two angels Mike is working on in the post below.

Hey, Everybody,
The morning after Mother's Day lightning hit our house (guess I should've had a pysanka hanging under the eaves). We've just gone a month with no computer, but now we're back up and running. We'll be adding pics soon. Mike's been busy sculpting lots of things.

two angels

Mike is busily working on two angels at the moment.

The Schmeckles Return!

The Schmeckle Sisters, Cora Lee and Carlene, Milk 'n' Honey, and many more bring their hilarious show, "It Was Open Mic Nite At Ye Olde Rustic Inn", to Comer, GA. They will perform Friday and Saturday night, (April 3 and 4) at 8:00pm at Saving Grace Cafe. If you're in the area, don't miss this chance to witness this comedy extravaganza. Tickets, $15.00 at the door

Pysanky Class

I've been teaching pysanky in Elberton, GA. They wrote a grant that would allow the 4-H kids to learn pysanky. They are wonderful students and are making great pysanky.

Mike's latest

This is a 4ft granite stone with Gothic arch that Mike just finished. They will be adding smaller stone panels on either side to create one large monument on a black base.

retrospective

It's been a while since I've posted pictures that show the variety of our art. This is a sampling of just a few of the things we've made in the past.

Oliver's Southern Folk Art

You can now find Mike's art at Oliver's Southern Folk Art in Hendersonville, NC. We drove two big stone pieces up there and visited with Ted Oliver, the owner (pictured) and Nichole Livengood (Mike's new artistic liaison).

more from Mike

This is a bust of Jesus Mike just finished. It's granite and I think he has an awesome face and sacred heart. Come back soon. We've got gallery news I'll be posting in a few days. Also, "White Lightnin'", the movie I worked on in Croatia, premiered at Sundance Monday night. Keep those fingers crossed.

couple new monuments

Here's two monuments Mike just finished. I'm working on lots of new pysanky. Happy New Year, everybody!
