SOAPSTONE #1F
|
SOAPSTONE #1F Carved from a beautiful piece of dendritic soapstone, this owl would love to sit around your home or office to keep an eye on things. As you can see, it is looking up, so a lower perch would be best. A photograph with me working on this owl can be found in the article about me in the Arts section of The Wisconsin State Journal, February 26, 2006. It is carved all the way around and is 8" high on a 4" x 4" x 4" oak base. |

It is mounted on a dark-stained cherry base that is a 2" cube.

OREGON The owl is absolutely stunning. Every time I unwrap one of your owls I get the same feeling I have since buying my first one from you. The detail and beauty just makes me so appreciative of your talent that allows me to enjoy my love of the best raptor of all. Now, before I get too maudlin and it goes to your head, I'll just say thank you for my latest owl, dear Clarence, and for being my Owlman. Mindy |

SOAPSTONE #7F

SOAPSTONE #7F Obviously, there are a lot of dendrites on this owl. I have no control over that, as the dendrites come and go as one carves, and I never know where they will end up on a piece. The sculpture is a bit over 4" high and 2 "wide and deep. It sits on a cherry base, 2" x 2" x 1 " high, and peers out from behind a wing. WAUKESHA, Wisconsin

SOAPSTONE #14F The owl remains a bit mystical with that large wing over one eye. He has a rather quizzical look but, at the same time, a "don't mess with me" attitude. Nice dendrites and subtle coloring make him a charmer. He is 3" high, 3.5" wide and 2.75" deep. The base is oak and 3" square and 2" high. He definitely has attitude and is carved all the way around.

SOAPSTONE #16F Every once in a while I end up with a weird owl. This one can't get much lower to the ground. Did you ever put your ear on a railroad track to listen for a train? Maybe this bird is listening for a mouse. Carved from Montana dendritic soapstone, he has very interesting coloration with the manganese in dendrites and swirls. A splotch of iron, here and there, adds even more interest. The back is polished smooth, and the owl is 4" wide, 1.75" deep, and 2" high.

 SOAPSTONE #18F
I am not certain what this owl is trying to say with its wings hunched up in that strange posture. It did choose to express itself, and all I did was reveal it in the stone. The piece is 5.75" high and is carved all around. It is mounted on a 3" square x 2" high cherry-stained oak base.

It is very seldom, now, that I come across a piece of dendritic soapstone that is, as the ladies call it, "mauve." (I only see pink) Geologists have told me that this "pink" is also caused by the manganese that forms the dendrites, but it just was not concentrated enough to form the usual mossy pattern. There are, however, some tiny dendrites here and there on the piece. The largest piece of this color was my 1995 Birds in Art owl, Impressions on a Winter's Eve Such a dominant pose for such a small owl. He stands 2.75" high and is about 3" wide. The owl is 2" deep, and the back is smooth and polished. He is mounted on a cherry base that is 3" x 2" x 1".

Things are looking up for this tiny owl in 2009. I think the same is true for the rest of us, too. The owl is a nice example of Montana dendritic soapstone but it is tiny, being only about 2.5" high, 1.5" wide, and .5 " deep. It is mounted on a cherry base which is 1.5" square x .5 " high. The back of the owl is smooth and polished.
