Koi just won't float....
I wanted to show this off.

Ian just picked up a rock one day and started carving (grinding)... this is the end result. Pretty proud of him, this was a first attempt with stone.

Kind Regards,
Terri

Very nice. I find naturalistic carp carved in stone very appealing.

I'm not a big fan of most koi art, but I like that.

Wow, thank you all for you wonderful 'review'

Ian's a guy with many talents,... and I'm glad this happens to be one.

He began this project last year, it's not entirely finished but we use it a lot... it's our cottage I guess you could say LOL This is where he did most of the work on the carving - between finishing work on the benches.

Kind Regards,
Terri

Terri, I'm thinkin' you might consider breeding with Ian,... he does seem to have some great talents, and you're talented and intelligent combined,... may make some great offspring.

Best Wishes,
Brady

You forgot to mention as well, Terri is drop dead beautiful. So lets see. Talent, smarts, beauty on one side, talented and smart on the other, 5 of the 6 kids should have it made.

You kids go!!!!!

d PS, I like that stone work as well. Shows a great imagination.
