    Some of my inspirational sources: 

    - the work of the modern masters, for technical content; 

    1) faberge
    2) John Sinkankas

    - for stone/metal mechanisms 

    3) Greek/roman exhibits, American Museum Natural History, NYC 

    - for pure technical genius 

    4) funerary objects, Egyptian King Tut an Komen (forgive my
    spelling) 

    - for pure simplicity in difficult technical execution 

    5) Shep Waldman, Denver, Colorado, master stone setter 

    - for adaption and use of materials: 

    6) Charles Lewton-Brain, Tucson Demonstration of KumBoo technique 

    - architectural pieces, for form/function, angle and perspective
    relationships 

    7) Steven Zirinsky, architect, NYC
    8) Frank Lloyd Wright
    9) Daniel Liebeskind

    - for clarity and simplicity of display 

    10) Jeff Scovil, photographer 

    - for discrete representations of light 

    11) Australian aboriginal artists
    12) more modern artists using "pointilism"

    - for the pure simplicity of nature's wonders 

    13) ASARCO, American Smelting and Refining Company, Leadville,
    Colorado, for the opportunity to be the first human being to see a
    large vug, about the size of a school bus, encountered on the 2,200
    foot level of the Black Cloud Mine, filled with pyrite, galena and
    dolomite crystals, 1981 

    - for "how to" ways to carve things 

    14) Henry Hunt 

    and the many Orchidians who, over the years, have shared quick tips
    and suggestions.
