It's even better in real life than it appears on the web. The turquoise and copper insets are amazing. I can't believe how you brought it all together. So stunning. I could go on and on . . . <br /><br />I'll send you a picture with it hanging on the log walls. It contrasts perfectly.<br /><br />Thank you so much Carol. It's been a joy working with you.<br /><br />ColleenColleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711152552883114177.post-79623835251047421522010-03-13T08:47:39.798-05:002010-03-13T08:47:39.798-05:00Fascinating - it must be hard working for commissi...Fascinating - it must be hard working for commission - do you feel stifled at all ?

I think because geology has always interested me and I've enjoyed reading on the various earth strata. The colors you've used are exquisite and quite lovely together.
