par-me

I decided to share my current artistic outlet with the Deviant community...Lapidary (or lapidarist) is an artist or artisan who forms stone, mineral, gemstones into decorative items such as engraved gems, including cameos, or cabochons, and faceted designs, or who is an expert in precious stones; and can be a collector of or dealer in gems. My hand crafted stones can now be purchased at the new GemTrailz website. It is in beta mode, with only about half of my inventory, but functional enough to accept and process orders to North America only.

If only there was time to create for fun. I love visiting DA and perusing the exceptional artwork. Long gone are my days of contributing to this wonderful community, but I continue to be an ardent supporter and believe it is the finest online resource for elite digital art ...period.

It has been an eventful year for me - personally. Got divorced and had to deal with all the BS that goes with it. Financial...legal...personal...upheavels up the ying yang. Now I am finally starting to play again...which for me means - opening Photoshop and venting creatively. I'll have to see if anything worth posting comes from these latest efforts...
