     In 2005 and 2006 Vasily came down to Texas to teach with me a stone-carving workshop in my home studio in Cedar Creek.  And he received a couple of pieces of the precious rattlesnake limestone.  Why precious?  Because the layer of this fossil-filled rock lasts only about six-inches thick.  The shell fossils look similar to the rattle on a snake, hence the name.  It is a beautiful stone and the shells polish up beautifully, adding a subtle texture to the creme-colored limestone.

 

     Here Vasily used the personality of the stone to create the idea... a Shell made up on smaller shells!  Then he personified it by adding the curious face.  At least, curiosity is the emotion I see in the expression.  What do you see?

 

     The base is a lovely piece of swirly patterned grey marble.  This is a fun artwork for your tabletop or a tall shelf.
