  18. That is interesting and, as catsynth said, quite dramatic. I've never seen anything quite like it, Jams.

  19. Happy WW! I'm always amazed at the immense talent of people who scult things. This image is another example of that talent!

    America is blessed to have a family with young 'uns in the White House. I invite your blog readers to enjoy the faces of Malia and Sasha Obama.

    Really interesting Jams, it looks so sorrow filled without even showing facial expression that is some artist. I love all the shadows playing in this and the angle as well!
