BASKING IN REFLECTED GLORY
I am quite certain this is Chinese, translucent soapstone. It doesn't carve quite as nicely as the dendritic but it does have its own qualitites. There are numerous fracture lines and some color variation, but I am quite happy with how this came out of the stone. The owl is 9.5" high x 6.5 " wide x 4.75 " deep. It is sitting on a 2" thick piece of walnut that is 6" square. The name just came to me and you will have to look it up to find its meaning, yourself.

SOAPSTONE #1F
|
SOAPSTONE #1F This is a pretty hefty piece of dendritic soapstone and the owl, literally, just popped out of the stone. The dendrites are subtle, and only two sides are carved. There is an interesting color change on its back, left side and it appears that there is more iron in the mix. The owl is 4.75" high, 6" wide, and 3.5" deep. It is on a natural walnut base that is 5" wide x 3.5" deep x 2" high.

Tall and angular, this owl has a lot of character. You could hardly ask for a nicer example of Montana dendritic soapstone. Clean and pure, it is carved on three sides with a smooth back and a smattering of dendrites, here and there. Check out the larger photos. The owl stands 5.75" high, it is 3.75" wide and 2.25" deep. It is mounted on a natural walnut base that is 2" high and 4" square.

SOAPSTONE #3F Manganese is seen throughout this little owl but there are no true dendrites. It is a very soft green with the manganese pattern and it has a little hole though its eye. The owl stands about 3" high, 1.5" wide, and not quite 1" deep. It stands on a walnut base that is 2" wide, 2" deep, and 1" high.

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 |

This owl is carved from pink, translucent, Chinese soapstone. It is slightly carved on the two sides but the back is smooth. The stone is a little harder than dendritic soapstone, but the pieces are pleasing because of the translucency. The owl is 2.75" high, 1.75" wide, and 1" deep. It is mounted on a cherry base.

This owl is a recent favorite of mine, as she has a lot of character. I seldom give my opinion on my work as each of us sees an owl, differently. The photo may not show it, and the fact that I am a little colorblind may fool me, but I see a little mauve in this piece, also caused by the manganese. It is only carved on the front. This owl is about 3.5" high, 4" wide and 4" deep. It sits on a walnut base, 4" x 3" x 1.5" high.

SOAPSTONE #6F The soapstone coloration is especially nice in this piece, and the owl definitely has some attitude. Perhaps I would call it "haughty." The back is smooth and polished. The bird is approximately 4" high, 2.75" wide, and 3.25" deep. It is mounted on a dark-stained base that is 2.75" x 3" x 1 .75" high.

SOAPSTONE #7F

This is another, more abstract piece. As I have said, many times, the stone just dictates what I am to carve and it does offer some variety in my carvings. The larger photos show it off better. The owl is a little over 3.25" high, 2.75" wide and 1.5" deep. It sits on a dark-stained walnut base that is 1" high and 2" square.

SOAPSTONE #8F This is a piece of soapstone from Oregon It does not have the same density as the dendritic stone, so there is not a lot of detail carved.

SOAPSTONE #9F From a very nice piece of Montana dendritic soapstone, this owl barely found a place to roost. The sculpture sort of "overflows" the base, as the larger photos illustrate. The owl is about 2.25" high and 4" long and 3" deep. It sits on a cherry base, 3" x 2" x 2 " high, and peers out from behind a wing. Price: $325.00

SOAPSTONE #10F Wow! Forget the owl, even though it is quite distinctive. The soapstone is gorgeous! This is dendritic soapstone with very little of its almost white showing. Instead, it has a few dendrites, swirls of manganese, as well as iron. Check out the larger images. The owl does seems quite intent on striking a likable pose. Perhaps it is the unusual amount of iron that sets it off.iving it a slight golden appearance to the dendritic soapstone. (The golden color is not quit as pronounced as shown in the photos) There is some carving on three of its sides. The owl is 3.25" high, 2.25" wide, and ±3" deep. The cherry base is 2.25" square x 1" high  Madison, Wisconsin

SOAPSTONE #11F click owl for larger images |
SOAPSTONE #11F A signature piece from 1998, I thought this owl escaped me a long time ago. It has one eye hidden behind its wing and its head to the ground, as though listening to something, or for, something. It is carved all around and stands 1.75 " high, 4+" wide, and 1.75" deep.

Hi, Clarence, Mary |

SOAPSTONE #12F click owl for larger images |
This little owl's pose seems to be a bit threatening or maybe it is pride in showing off his wings. There are dendrites, here and there, and almost in the same areas, front and back. Look at the larger photos and you will see. The owl is 2.5" high x 4.5"+ wide x 1.25" deep. It is mounted on a walnut base that is 1" high x 4.5"wide x 2"deep.

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.

This owl may see you coming, but it won't see you going. You will have to look at the larger photo to see where this one is looking. Obviously, this is a hanging piece. The frame is about 7.5" wide and almost 9.5" high.The owl is mounted on another piece of wood on a grass cloth-type background. It is over 3.75" high, 3" wide, and3" deep. The iron, mixed in the soapstone, gives it a pale, golden color, but the dendritic pattern is still nice. Price: $295.00 |

SOAPSTONE #28F A piece of dendritic soapstone that is, as the ladies call it, "mauve." I only see pink, but it is a more subtle shade than the photos show. Geologists have told me that this "pink" is also caused by the manganese that forms the dendrites. There are, however, some pronounced dendrites here and there on the piece. The largest piece of this color was my 1995 Birds in Art owl, Impression on a Winter's Eve. The owl is 2" high, 2.25" wide and 1" deep.
